7/27/2018, Gros Ventre: Warden Bridge to Red Hills CG

With: Chris Oberlin, Chris Kelly, David Bernard, Craig Wolfe
 
Some of the group spent the day touring Yellowstone, some hung out in Jackson, and five of us ran the gorge section of the Gros Ventre. Chaos ensued, in the form of two swims.

At this level it was boring in the flats along Upper Slide Lake, a very challenging Class III+ in the gorge section (where I had no opportunity to take pictures), then Class II and very beautiful for the rest of the run. I've run the gorge at 300 CFS and found it charming, and at 2,000 CFS and found it challenging, but never as challenging as at this level.

Several of us ate at a nice little Mexican restaurant on Pearl Street in Jackson which my friends Kim and Jenny had told me about (which I absolutely cannot find on Google Maps, even with street view so it may be gone), and that evening Evan arrived in camp to complete the roster.
