Hi, Bill, I've been looking at Nelson's book a little more this evening. It looks
like the stuff in the Tetons, Jenny, String Lake, Leigh Lake, is probably a good
starting place for me. It looks like the water might be gentler and views
magnificient. After I've gotten a more comfortable on some of the easier trips, I
will likely take some of the easier trips along Yellowstone Lake and Lewis Lake. I
see 89 and Bear Lake. My Rand McNally map shows it's a scenic hwy and there are
several other scenic hwys near by. I may hit that on the way back. Sounds like a good
choice. I'll probably cut north fron 80 onto 93 up towards Twin Falls and the
Sawtooths on the way east.
Put on at the Jackson Reservoir dam and float with the current (and
against the wind, most likely!), until an access point/overlook at a
creek mouth where US-89 comes close to river left, just north of Moran
Junction. The entire right bank is a game preserve and offers good
chances for close encounters of the wildlife kind. The water is swift
in a few places but mostly slow, and there are no rapids. This might
be the stretch known as the Oxbow stretch (I'm better with geography
than with nomenclature).
