[Paddlewise] Utah Paddling Possibilities

A paddling buddy I used to race with and I are planning to take another
kayak trip in Utah, or somewhere nearby, in October (when the air has cooled
, the water is still warm and most of the other boaters have left). We have
up to two weeks and tend to crank out the miles since his winged paddle has
only two speeds, stopped and fast. Last time we went we averaged 27.5 miles
a day (max. 34.5 one day) going to the end of every arm from Bullfrog to
below the Escalante (including every arm of the Escalante) and back again
one November. We loved the scenery (except the reservoirs bathtub ring).
Does anyone have any suggestions for a stretch of river or reservoir with
great scenery, a minimum of official hassles-like reservations required--and
no serious rapids that can't be easily portaged (because my friend is not a
WW paddler and uses a winged paddle).
Thanks
