Canyon Creek rapid was ok. There was a fun little drop between there and Bonneville Hot Springs.
Also, just above Bonneville there is a neat 3 tier drop rapid. Next was Chapman Creek rapid which
was not any trouble. About a mile after that though was the most difficult rapid. Thought it was
about a +III or IV. Then it was swift water till Wake Up. Got pushed against a wall and into a bad
eddy on river right. Swam there. Last rapid Kirkam Gorge and then some hot springs soaking. Fun
run. Very long day. Edit
with some exceptions. We encountered a log portage above the great III+ canyon that is roadside on
the way to putin. Next time I'd launch just above this canyon. We had another portage below this
canyon. The only significant drop on this section is visible from the road where Canyon Creek
enters the run. This a great III-IV drop with some good features at 2300. Very scenic with views of
the sawtooth range from the top of the run. --Brian Vogt Edit
