Cruise - Shoshone (III)

  • 08/18/2018
  • Colorado River
This cruise will be held on the Shoshone section of the Colorado River near Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Contact Ryan Ness to sign up or for more information. Also, contact Ryan if you are interested in sweeping for this cruise.

Description from River Brain:

A solid and fun Class III section with good river access and a paved bike path along the river for hiking rapids to hit over and over again.  Maneater rapid about half way down is a good spot to hike and hit numerous times.  Watch out for commercial rafting traffic which can be heavy during the weekends of July and early August.  


Important CW Cruise Information:

Please remember you are responsible for yourself on the river. You are also responsible to the group. Boat within your ability. Don't take unnecessary risks. Don't participate in a rescue if you are likely to become another victim. Cruise Coordinators have the right to deny inclusion on a trip for any reason and they also have the right to request a participant to leave the river for any reason. Conditions change drastically with water level.

Do not show up to a cruise unannounced. You must contact the cruise leader in advance as trips have participant limits and ability requirements. If you are not going to make a scheduled event, you MUST let the leader know. No-shows are inconsiderate.

Cruises and River Weekends are not instructional events. You should have the skills necessary to safely navigate the section of river to be run. Only current CW members are allowed to participate in CW events. Please bring your completed liability waiver to give to the leader for each event. Click here to download the waiver.

Some cruises may be above the ability level for some members and varying water levels can have an impact on the difficulty of the run. Please research the water level and run you are interested in doing. You can find some of this information at the River Levels webpage on our website. Published resources include Colorado Rivers & Creeks 2 and Whitewater of the Southern Rockies. Unfortunately both of these are now out of print but many members have copies until new versions are available. Refer to Riverbrain and AW for additional information. If you are unsure if your ability matches the run at the predicted flow, discuss your boating resume with the trip leader.
