Take a 1,450 mile journey along the Colorado River
The Colorado River is so much more than something we raft and fish in. Millions of people in the western U.S. drink water that comes from the river. Millions more use electricity generated by hydroelectric power plants along the rivers 1,450-mile course. Most of the produce on our table is grown using water from the river and its tributaries. When you think about it, the Colorado River is so much more than just a river, its a lifeline for the southwestern U.S. In the Denver7 special presentation Colorado River: Lifeline of the West, hosts Lisa Hidalgo and Eric Lupher share the story of a river that has shaped the landscape for millions of years but is now having itself reshaped by people trying to harness its power.

Fort Caspar, Wyoming, United states
Fort Caspar, Wyoming, United States 2005, museum and historic site by City of Casper
Fort Caspar was a military post of the United States Army in present-day Wyoming, named after 2nd Lieutenant Caspar Collins, a U.S. Army officer who was killed in the 1865 Battle of the Platte Bridge Station against the Lakota and Cheyenne. Originally founded in 1859 along the banks of the North Platte River as a trading post and toll bridge on the Oregon Trail, the post was later taken over by the Army and named Platte Bridge Station to protect emigrants and the telegraph line against raids from Lakota and Cheyenne in the ongoing wars between those nations and the United States. The site of the fort, near the intersection of 13th Street and Wyoming Boulevard in Casper, Wyoming, is listed in the National Register of Historic Places and is now owned and operated by the City of Casper as the Fort Caspar Museum and Historic Site.

THE KROHN LAKE RANCH
Krohn Lake Ranch is nestled in the Upper Blackfoot Valley, one of the most coveted and pristine locations in the Northern Rockies. More than 200 years ago the Lewis & Clark expedition passed through here on its way across the Continental Divide, guided by the Nez Perce, who followed this route to the buffalo. In 1882, John Krohn homesteaded the area and gave the largest lake its name, and in 1865, miners struck gold in nearby Lincoln Gulch. A River Runs Through It was filmed here in the Upper Blackfoot Valley, about 50 miles nothwest northwest of Helena, the state capital.Nearby Lincoln, just 9.5 miles to the West on Highway 200, offers basic goods and services including a grocery store, a gas station, several restaurants, medical services, and paved public airport with a 4200’ lighted runway.
Pristine wildlife sanctuary
You’ll find no shortage of wildlife here. The 35 acre private lake, 1.3 acre pond, and naturally fed springs support an amazingly diverse selection of animal life, including moose, elk, mule deer, white-tailed deer, red fox, bald and golden eagles, osprey, trumpeter swans, Canadian geese, sandhill cranes, great horned owl, blue heron, west-sloped cutthroat, rainbow trout, and many more. 392 acres of conifers, aspen groves, grasses and wetlands meticulously cared for and professionally developed for the past 15 years to promote a healthy forest, wildlife habitat, and elk calving grounds.
An outdoorsman’s dream
Enjoy all the adventures Montana has to offer at Krohn Lake Ranch, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own your own 392-acre wildlife sanctuary and private 35-acre lake estate stocked with west-sloped cutthroat and and triploid rainbow trout. Located on the southern edge of the Bob Marshall/Scapegoat Wilderness complex, the property offers unmatched peace and privacy, breathtaking panoramic views of the Rockies, and a myriad of outdoor pursuits right outside your doorstep. Snowmobiling, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, mountain biking, ATV off-roading, horseback riding, hunting, target shooting, fishing and boating all without setting foot off your property. Should you desire to venture out further, 1.5 million acres of backcountry is just minutes away as well as direct access to 250 miles of groomed snowmobile trails just waiting to be explored.
Exceptionally striking luxury custom home
The exquisitely built 5,076 sq. ft custom log, post and beam home is a true work of art and captures the picturesque beauty of the ranch from every room and in every detail. A grand entryway abstraction of fallen trees inlaid into limestone floor brings the great outdoors indoors and sets the tone for the exceptional architectural features to follow. An enormous, dazzling wall of windows pulls you into the great room and completely overwhelms the senses, flooding the space with an abundance of natural light, sweeping birds-eye mountain and lake views, and the most vibrant sunrises. A massive native rock fireplace soars to the peak of the vaulted cathedral ceilings spanning 36’ and grounds the heart of the home with giant exposed beams and airy loft overhead. The great room opens up to an adjacent formal dining room and gourmet kitchen with custom hickory cabinetry and granite countertops throughout. Two sets of glass double doors reveal 2,000 sq. of covered Brazilian hardwood decking, vaulted log canopy, and custom hand rails with treetop views. Dinner music is the chirping of birds, elk bugling, and the splash of the moose swimming below. An outdoor open hearth wood fireplace with backlit mantel offers an instant escape from reality and a romantic cozy fire for enchanting starry nights. In the east wing, the main floor master suite features two additional decks, a stone fireplace, spacious walk-in closet and bath complete with a steam shower and clawfoot tub. Precision cut steel balusters lead you to the lower level with a large family room and bar, an ultimate hangout for movies and gaming. Innovative wall-to-wall architectural shelving solutions accentuate the home’s rustic and modern sensibilities all the while making storage look beautiful. Two bedrooms and bathrooms, and two bonus rooms provide flexibility for use as spare bedrooms, a gym, or an office. With all these incredible modern luxuries while still being able to take in the relaxing natural surroundings ask yourself: Why aren’t I living here already?
Kokapelli Packrafting in the Grand Tetons National Park
We journeyed from Utah to the Grand Tetons and used our Kokopelli packrafts to float numerous Lakes in the park. I love the seclusion that packrafts allows you to find by being able to go places most can't. Music by odesza
End of Track
End of Track is the story of the Transcontinental Railroad’s construction march across southern Wyoming and the growing pains of a state in its infancy. It’s a story of incredible engineering achievements and boisterous “Hell on Wheels” towns. A story of greed and corruption, murder and mayhem; of a clash of cultures and Native American retaliation. But it’s also a story of hope and ambition, determination and unimagined success.
Ep. 95: Green River Kayak Camping | Utah kayaking Canyonlands National Park
A voyage down the final 100 miles of the Green River by kayak, canoe or raft, through the Labyrinth Canyon and Stillwater Canyon into Utah's Canyonlands National Park, is an epic bucket list camping trip. It's also the only way to see this part of Canyonlands. We spend eight days on the river, encountering other river travelers from four other states and two other countries along the way. We find remnants of ancient people dating from 200 to 1,200 years old, including the Outlaw Cabin and Anasazi cliff dwellings. We descend through numerous layers of the earth’s crust, passing through two seasons. Throughout it all, though, the river is our constant, yet moody companion; at times our lover and best friend, and at other times our worst enemy, the river is alive -- a living, breathing creature that dominates our lives for days on end.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Separate river permits are required from the BLM for Labyrinth Canyon, and from Canyonlands National Park for Stillwater Canyon. The Labyrinth Canyon permit requires little more than filling out a form and carrying the required gear, while the permit for Stillwater Canyon requires a bit more arduous and bureaucratic process and while there’s no lottery involved, permits are limited by the number of people who can be shuttled by outfitters from The Confluence or Spanish Bottom. Ruby Ranch’s owners also charge a fee for those who choose to launch their boats there, although there are alternative put-ins at Crystal Geyser and in the town of Green River.
Applications and more information may be found at:
* BLM Labyrinth Canyon
* Canyonlands National Park river permits
Two outfitters are permitted to provide shuttle services from Spanish Bottom to Moab and also provide guided expeditions:
* Tag-A-Long Expeditions
* Tex’s Riverways
