The North Platte is a mountain river running clear and cold flowing north out of Colorado. It is set in a narrow canyon at over 8,000 feet and is surrounded by snow-capped mountain ranges. Northgate Canyon is the start of your trip through intense Class III-IV rapids like Stovepipe, the Wall in the Narrows and Windy Hole. Because of its remote designated wilderness setting, the river corridor offers whitewater, solitude and great boating.
