Just opening some lines of communication, I guess. Curious what others are planning for the next annual 'shortest runoff season in the country so you better take advantage of it when it comes'.

Personally(but not limited to)-
Stillwater Fork thru East Fork Bear River; Cabarton; Alpine; Bridger and Woodcamp on the Logan(and Upper Logan?); Upper Green River; Gates of Lodore would be nice but unlikely; Spanish Fork; Middle Provo

Not the most challenging or impressive runs I know; but for me, it'd be nice to 'check them off the list' at least.

Bitch Creek, Teton, Escalante Creek, BCotB, and LFH. A high-water Murtaugh run would be nice, but I'm not going to hold my breath. I'd also like to give the Lower 5 a go and run Gore, but I could just as easily chicken out on those.

For a more local run: I'd like to run the Eggs at peak next year.

if this winter proves to be what they say it will, next spring should bring big water here in the desert of utah. i owe my quick progression to a great run off the spring before last as well as paddling my ass off in the last 2 VC's. we can only hope. not to mention the killer winter snows to play in this year. i still owe hobag a bootie shot from the low flow eggs. i may be taking two come this spring. cheers!

I would like to run eggs, odgen, 89-riverdale, the canyon, zion narrows, black boxes, bridal vail, and a lot more in other states. I will need somebody to show me the lines on the local runs so I hope there will be people ready to go alot!

I cant wait.

As far as the zions I hope we can hit it this upcoming year, and I hope alot of people can join!

As in all previous years, I am still waiting for the opportunity to kayak state street. Whatever other adventures that come my way are just gravy.

High water Eggs, Black Canyon of the Bear, Gauley since I did not get to go this year, and travel to the Payettes as much as I possibly can.

Staircase at higher water was the run that stands in my mind as the most fun this season. (4500 was it? Not too scary, but big water/pushy enough to be challenging and exciting). Looking forward to avoiding the death sieve in Staircase rapid, now that I know its there!
Many IV+s kicked my butt this spring, so I want to be more consistent on high water Eggs (no broken paddles!), AF, upper Wind, etc.
If we are talking "must-run", I would have to say:
Joes/Cottonwood
LFH
BV
Upper Logan
Ogden Narrows
Zion park
local micro-creeks that I happen to like; might not be on other's radar so much:
AF @60-80
Celestial gorge @60-80
ID/WY:
Staircase, Canyon
Greys, Bitch
The "really want to do" list is huge:
Zion Narrows
most CO IVs; Crystal river (because I've looked at those for years), Arkansas, Taylor Canyon (I remember climbing there years ago, and watching the paddlers and thinking, that looks like a blast)
ID: I have heard that E fork of the S fork of the Salmon is the best IV in ID.
Lochsa, Selway, MFS, ha ha, why not? So many classics, so little time.
OR/WA: another semi-endless list. Upper Wind may be the best run I've ever done (way harder and scarier than Staircase; another one that kicked my butt; so not quite as high on the fun scale... yet).
EF Lewis: a mega-classic waterfall run.
Orletta (the IV section above Middle White Salmon).
I need to be more comfortable on the upper Wind before trying Farmlands.
CA: never even paddled there! Gimme a III/IV hit list someone.
Costa Rica: what is that epic IV run called again?

Oh yeah, and Spanish Fork, with Brian, before they put it in a pipe. Never done it ;-).

Yeah that was always your babied run. You did the write up, and I swam like a drunk fish when I first started out.
