There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem but if you don’t
    have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. The wonderful Duchesne/ Wasatch County scenery and the playfulness
of the water attract people from near and far. This section is long enough for an overnight trip if you take your time, so why not pack your camp stove too. The put-in is not too far from Price, as you can see on the road map further down. If you're a camper you can camp at one of the great campgrounds nearby. The river winds through the Uinta Mountains and you get great scenery. Getting your paddling muscles activated and a chance to spend
