Narrows
This is a less run portion of the Snake in Alpine Canyon. There is a nice class III rapid here called the narrows but you have to float a small section of Palisade Reservoir to get to the take-out.
Suggested river levels for paddling this section of the Snake River are between a bare minimum of 2,000cfs and a high of 22,000cfs.
