Been there done that. We put in at Clifty with intentions of taking out in big bottom. The whole river sumped out maybe a mile below Clifty. We drug kayaks and a canoe from 9 am until dark. Once it got dark we abandoned the yaks and started walking. Made it to the fork hole where Scott's gulf road is at 11 am the next day. The rescue squads, Rangers, wardens, and families were waiting on us. Dumb kids thinking we could do that in a day when all we had to do was ask someone. Our efforts were awarded with hypothermia and a little news coverage lol. Big bottom would be your best bet as far as away from crowds and being able to have more water to yak.
