400 cfs was enough water to enjoy the canyon and the whitewater, more water would be more fun.

Be sure to find out ahead of time whether the road to the put in is open. It does open up before other access in the area opens up.

The run was non-stop class II-II+ with some sections of more distinct class III-III+

We camped near Dry Creek, which had some clear water running for camp use.
