North Platte River in Wyoming

The South Platte River in northern Colorado is running pretty low this spring. We had a tough 32 miles marathon race in the end of March due to low water level. Then, the river went even more down. Now, it is flowing a little better (~400 cfs at Kersey).

Much more attractive for paddling looks right now the North Platte River in Wyoming which has a good flow below Saratoga and between Glendo and Guernsey Reservoirs in Wendover Canyon. There will be the 2nd Wyoming Outback Challenge on the North Platte during the Memorial Day weekend - 48 mile race from Saratoga to I-80.

The above picture was shot during our weekend in Wyoming before the last year race. Camera: Pentax Optio W10.
