Yampa - 04. Cross Mountain Gorge - 85 Rd to Deer Lodge Park Rd (CO)
Optimal flow range (based on 2012 Yampa-White Basin WFET Report).
This is the begining of the gorge. There is a large rock in the center of the river, with a little Class II rapid going around the rock. Just up stream the flat water has clifts on both sides, this would make hiking back out fairly difficult.
