Just ran this over the weekend. Water was at 4.21 and that was WAY too low. Overall things seemed very clear of obstructions. Just want for the water to be up a bit and it'll be good for some great fun! Edit

March 19, 2007. At the 2nd island, the left looked rocky, so I went right, over a 3-4-ft ledge. This was no problem, but I recommend staying centered, as the sides looked a bit junky. Also, after you pass an impressive, overhanging pinnacle-kind of formation on river left, just downstream there is a tree leaning down into the water at a 45-degree angle; this would be alarming enough, but in avoiding this obstacle, one tends to get pushed toward a partially-submerged, roostertail-kind of rock that could really be quite painful etc. The level was 5.7/1100 cfs--a nice level, by the way. And the scenery is first-rate, as well. Cliffs virtually all of the way. The snow was fresh on river right, and gone on river left--quite scenic!! Only one or two places felt low; the rest of the river felt well-above minimum. There are no tedious, flat spots on this section, just pleasantly moving slower spots between enjoyable rapids. Also, "the former Dolly Campground" is a grassy area between the road and the river just downstream of Dolly Town Rd. (28/1). Alternatively, there is a large pull-off just upstream, near a long rock ridge on river right. The popular takeout is where the road and the river come together again, 1/4 mile upstream of Jordan Run Rd. (28/7). An excellent run!

I ran it for the first time after the flood of '85, and was very surprised to see that landslide rapid was entirely gone! I had not run the canyon in over 25 years, so I though I had not yet gotten to landslide until I was exiting the canyon. It seems that the spot where it used to be is now a flat pool, backed up behind a new garvel bar. I thought my memory was just being flaky.

when you get to the second or third island stay to the right for a nice ledge drop..
<br />
There is a small eddy on river right just above the drop (worth scouting on your first run)
<br />
The center is a stern bustin 4 foot pourover,the left is a twisting ominous drop. This could get pretty hairy at over 1000c.f.s.Cabins gauge for the unexpecting
<br />
There is a sneak route to the left (NAH)
