Colorado whitewater, Yule Creek

Pitkin county, Bible Camp to Crystal River section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS V+     1.3 miles
  This section of Yule Creek in Pitkin County is 1.3 miles long and it is classified as a class V+ section by American Whitewater. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so don't forget that the rivers in this state are less manageable. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these
    hotels fill up quick. This section is very short so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over. This river system has a few good paddling sections and the Bible Camp to Crystal River section is one of them. Getting
a good workout and just being out on the river for a while will have you coming back for more. The beautiful scenery of Pitkin County and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way around here you'll find a large number of good rivers. The put-in is not too far from Edwards, if you're not familiar with the area there's a road map further  
down the page.

Briefly about the general area:
Why not take a refreshing hike along the Trail Riders Trail; lots of people from Somerset come here. The Munsey Ruby Stock Driveway offers hiking at its best, and if you yearn for a little side visit, try Mud Gulch. This is such a great river. Gunnison National Forest is a good spot, and Paonia State Park is a good place to explore. For the duration of the summer months highs here at Yule Creek reach the 70's. Summer nighttime lows plunge down to the 40's. Daytime highs during the wintertime are in the 30's, and night lows through the winter for Yule Creek tend to be in the-10's.
