Basic rundown, ~ 23.5 miles round trip, camped just past Elkhorn.

Nice looks like fun!

That water looks very clear for this time of year...

it was moving a lot slower, and the water level was several feet lower than when I was there last year in early july... but even with run off last year it was just about as clear. I'm going to get a packable fly fishing rod and head back this summer.
