We’ll leave from the church early Saturday morning aiming to be at the outfitters before noon. Here’s a description of the trip we’ve booked:
Our shortest overnight trip, only 10.5 miles over 2 days. This trip is ideal for fishermen wanting to take their time fishing each rapid. Day one paddle length is just 6 miles down to Arcadia (2-3 hours of paddling), day two paddle is about 4.5 miles down to the Alpine Take out (1 to 1 1/2 hours paddle). This trip includes an interesting section of water with plenty of rapids 5 rated class II, great mountain views, and a remote wilderness feel. The Arcadia to Alpine section has been known for citation smallmouth bass and is listed as a great section in many fishing guide books. The pickup time at Alpine will be 10:30 AM.
