Gauge Information
River Description
Rick Hill testified:
"Ran this 5/31/02, high brown water, 3.6 on guage at takeout. To get to take out, drive to
town of Alpine. Drive up Grey's river road several miles to first bridge over river. There is a
campground there. That is the takeout. Proceed up road, scouting Snaggletooth on the way, for about
3 miles. You will see a road on your right going down to a bridge across the Greys; this is the
put-in. The run can be extended with additional class 3 by going farther upstream. In the stretch
we ran there are 3 distinct rapids in increasing order of difficulty with the last being
Snaggletooth (4+ at high water). Looks worse than it is. Some declined to run it based on its look,
but those who did run it found it not as pushy as it looked, with plenty of time to make your
moves. Reminiscent of the lower canyon of the Clearwater, ID.
Lat/Longitude data are very approximate.
Dave Duke sez: "Maybe my favorite river anywhere....must make this one for great play (an
ender spot to rival any), great waves, and Snaggletooth, one of the funnest drops around no
matter the level."

big above 3000. There is a short gorge above the Little Greys confluence that is a lot of fun at
higher levels.
