Upper Vallecito Creek-Los Piños River | Packraft Linkup
4-day route in the San Juan Range's Weminuche Wilderness. Los Piños River (~550 cfs) from Vallecito Simulator gorge through Lake Creek gorge, followed by a hike past Emerald Lake to reach upper Vallecito Creek (~500-450 cfs) at Rock Creek, paddled through the warm-up boofs for the classic gorge run. So far, separately, Packrafts have only descended the full Vallecito gorge at flows of 150 to 325 cfs.

Wood and Whirlpool River linkup, Canadian Rockies Packrafting
Просмотров 1 тыс.2 месяца назад
The route linking together the Wood River in BC and the Whirlpool River in AB, crossing the continental divide twice, was pioneered by the local team of Ben and Luke a decade ago. They were extremely resilient in the face of difficult mishaps which illustrated the whitewater and navigational challenges on the Wood River, an objective perhaps not paddled since. In August 2024, our team spent a w...

Throwback to 2021 and a 9 day trip in the Emigrant wilderness running Upper Cherry and tribs. Approx. 400-200 cfs on the gage. The previous year at very low flow we ran most drops in the standard upper cherry section aside from Dead Bear and Cherry Falls, but with these flows almost all of the bigger drops were portaged until red rock gorge was passed.
Crown Jewel of the Colorado Plateau: Dark Canyon Packraft

Many desert canyons feature bedrock channels, and many desert drainages feature large scale snowpack in wet years. The overlap is small, and the degree to which Dark Canyon has flushed all of its sediment to leave behind miles of bedrock slots, slides and ledges is truly unique. A hardshell crew paddled the lower canyon in the exceptional 2019 spring, and the 2023 spring is even better. Here, w...

    Jeffrey its cool to see this trip done again and see what the rivers are like in places Ben and I couldn't paddle. If you're ever in Alaska I'll buy you a burger or feed you home cooked moose if you'll tell me the whole story. Love to look at a map with you. Really thankful we made it out okay. With our limitations at the time (boats and my skill level) we could have easily got in more trouble than we did. Fun fact. I found a job in Alaska and met my wife through connections from the Wood River trip. "The Lord leads in mysterious ways..." to quote another outdoorsman.

    Been following along for years now. Best remote packrafting vids on the intertubes. What an epic trip! Ive been packrafting for about 10 years, mostly to link up canyon systems but now getting into more and more whitewater. Would love more info on your gear and setup ideas. Paddle, pfd choices, rigging decision etc. Do you have a blog or any videos that go through those elements?

Backpacks, boats, paddles etc. Be really interesting to read your theories on why the switches, different boats for different trips etc. Keep up the great work. Never thought places like North Fork of Bull Lake was attainable in a PR. But it turns out these things are the perfect craft for such deep and remote adventures!
