Nice trip report Luke.  Sounds like a good time.

Another good trip report with good insight into decisions after the plan. Also another plus of having an inReach – river levels on demand. ?

funny thing, I tried to get to the Thorofare again and AGAIN I got turned back by high snow, although this time I went farther. No grizzly this time. I put in earlier on the Yellowstone. Just under the gorge there was a ton of wood. At low water it was okay but at pushy water levels  I’d avoid the section between the gorge and Castle Creek. It could be really dangerous at certain times.

Nice write up, Luke. After the Wood River, it all must seem tame, but at least you got some grizzly action on this trip.

Great trip report. This may inspire me to get out there
