Big Thompson Creek CO nice run if you can catch it. I have never heard of it untill I was in the area and hooked up with a local from the area. This is considered High flow for the Run, it usally gets done in 2 parts Upper Gnar Section and lower section. According to the local this was the 1st time its been linked from top to bottom without portages.
Thanks for Watching!

Nice ride! Thanks for leaving in real world whitewater sounds and your vocals with just a hint of running music. Well done.

This is definitely one of the better runs on the front range. And not that many people do it.

Do you remember the level? That looks about 500cfs. You actually ran the Gnar section below Trash Can and the Main section to Drake. It's my favorite creek. I've linked it (preflood) all the way to the Cherry store dam in a day and have run it all the way from Lake Estes Dam to the canyon mouth.

Merman I’m not sure the level I was just going on what the local from there was Telling me I think it was 650 something and he was the one that said no one had link all the sections up I was just like ok 👍

That's so big I can't even understand it. Insane first descent! Check out this Steamboat creek. Adam Mayo Willow Creek on KZfaq. Last time I ran this creek I had to do 18 proteges due to wood. They ran it at super high water. Water must have been running over the top of the piles of wood. I'm getting an ulcer thinking of it. You would have loved it!

How do you like the Nirvana vs the Phantom. Looking at replacing my Mamba with something that is a little sportier but still has that river runner/Creeker volume.

@WadeHarrison 5 жыл бұрын

Phantom is awesome boat so is the nirvana both paddle very similar the phantom I think is little more carving and sporty than the nirvana but the nirvana has a wider stern and is very predictable and slightly easier to paddle. But seriously can’t go wrong with either..

@Christgoldberg 5 жыл бұрын

Awesome! Thanks for the response. Sounds like I will have to demo both.

I did make it up there but couldn’t find anyone that wanted to run it with me because of levels so went hiking instead. So I will knock that one off next trip...
