Put-In Scofield Reservoir 7,598 Feet Yes No No All Vehicles

From Highway 6 turn south onto Highway 96 and follow it to the dam's spillway.  Before crossing over it, follow a dirt road down to a small parking lot and river access point.

Watch for wood as well as beware of some drops where the railroad bridges cross the river.  Scout anything that looks suspicious or if you haven't run this section before.

Right before Highway 6 begins its descent into Price canyon, turn onto the Emma Park road and park where the bridge crosses the river.

Take-Out Highway 6 Bridge 7,163 Feet No No No All Vehicles

This is an alternative take-out to shorten this run by 4 miles.  Where 6 crosses the price river look for a dirt road on the north side of the road that turns back on itself and goes underneath the highway.  A take-out exists here.
