Bighorns Part 1: The Wild Goose
Team NRS paddler Erik Boomer along with expedition paddlers Nouria Newman and Ben Stookesberry take on, what they consider, one of the best domestic first descents they have ever done.

But that’s exactly the kind of beta this paddling dream team uses as motivation to attempt a first descent. Following their intuition, they decided to give it a go and start with Goose Creek. Goose Creek has steep, complex paddling and portages like a riddle that forced the team to make sketchy ferries and move really efficiently.
