  The way to rough canyon marina @Esgar272 . Its not a trip for most people. We planned on 8 days but we decided to go ahead and paddle faster and covered 20 miles ...more yesterday. There is no cell cervice.

  Its pretty strict and so are the land owners. No permit needed if not camping in the State Areas. There are plenty of islands that you can legally camp on. I launched ...more at bakers crossing and went all
