Yankee Jim Canyon (Joe Brown To Miner)
This is an excellent day run in a scenic class III canyon. Much like the Alpine Canyon on the Snake River in WY this river sees a lot of use (especially with commercial traffic).
Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Yellowstone River are between a bare minimum of 2,000cfs and a high of 16,000cfs.
