Well, I've returned from a very enjoyable time kayaking. I paddled in Teton NP and
two places in Idaho. I did not paddle in YS, but did check it out for the future. The
'finger' area at the south end looked interesting, but it would require some effort
both in time and money to get there. A boat will ferry equipment there, but it is
supposed to be pretty costly. From Grant Village, it's 30 miles along the shore. I
took in String, Two Ocean Lake, part of Oxbox Bend, and Leigh. All were beautiful
lakes. On the way into Idaho, I stopped at Massacre Rock on the Snake and paddled
toward the dam. A couple of hand grenades might have been useful for the big boat
travel around there. :-) I also took in a stretch of the Snake below Pallisade Dam in
SE Idaho. It ran down to Swan Valley. The later 1/2 is supposed to be through a
canyon, but I couldn't arrange a take out easily, so did the first 1/2. It was quite
picturesque and about class 1.4. Fun with a number of cascades.

Any suggestions for recreational paddling in YS/Teton area? Outside the
parks is fine too.
