Gore Canyon on the Colorado River is a challenging Class V+ river run that is only recommended for expert kayakers and rafters. The river features several obstacles, including steep drops, narrow chutes, and boulder gardens that require precise navigation. The best time to float this section of water is during the late summer and early fall when water levels are typically lower, ranging from 500 to 1,200 cfs. It is not recommended to run Gore Canyon at higher water levels due to dangerous conditions. Overall, this river run is not for the faint of heart and requires advanced skills and experience.
