We headed back to the Yellowstone River in Paradise Valley to kayak with Helen, Craig & Ray. The plan was to put in at Emigrant Fishing Access & head downstream to Dan Baily's, aka as Paradise. One more bluebird day with temperatures predicted to hit 90 degrees. It was a very nice day to be on the river with a nice cool breeze.
A very pretty float with a tricky takeout area & some slippery rocks to navigate. No injuries and no one flipped out of their kayaks...a win!
The flow rate has really dropped over the last two weeks...our last float was 7900 cfs versus today's 3700 cfs. We expected a slow float, but it actually felt pretty fast. Reached the pullout point in 2 hours with only 1 stop along the way. My Versa 4 claimed we travelled 7.12 miles in 1:52 with an average speed of 3.8 mph.
