Six Mile Gap to Bennett Peak overview
The biggest whitewater section of Northgate Canyon ends at Six-Mile Gap, where a very steep, long trail provides access out of the canyon. Below this, the North Platte mellows somewhat, and wildlife sightings proliferate: deer, bear, moose, beaver, merganser, and bald eagle sightings are common. On the second day of this two-day wilderness trip, the canyon opens up into the rolling sage-covered hills of southern Wyoming.
