Pigeon, West Fork

Brian Byrd and I snuck in a lap as the river dropped through the low but runnable range. The rapids themselves where still fun, but there was a fair bit of rock bumping and dodging between the rapids. The only wood was an obvious multi-tree jam just downstream of the gauge bridge that was an easy walk on the right. It was clear that the surf features would come in with a bit more water, with the exception of the wave right at the shooting range that had some good form. This run confirms an earlier guess that for most people 2.5 is probably a good minimum, though rock-tolerant folks can go lower.

3.05

362’ of drop over the 2.2 mile run

Pretty continuous action
