Trip Report

ReporterMoffatt Prescott

Myself along with Cooper Lambla, Adam Kinney and the man Chris Clark paddled this particular creek in the winter of 2004. There was one mandatory portage past a shelfed out super necked down fifty footer, and then another non-mandatory portage past a really gnarly Ravens Fork style rapid. There was a decent amount of wood and some rapids required log dodging to sucessfully navigate. This run catches a little flack for being too long with out enough fun factor, but if you are into running a really big super fun/clean waterfall then you need to be here. There is always the option to just hike and huck but this is a beautiful run that is really remote with some cool tight technical creeking on the upper part. Look for Wilsons to be huge and Gragg Prong to be too high.
