Trip Report

ReporterJohn Tingerthl

Ran lower sections this week:
3/18/2010: 89B to Page Springs: Boated/hiked first mile and pulled out after being frustrated by overgrowth. Channel choked with small diameter growth. Scouting downstream, seemed to open up with better rapids, but still had lots of blind choked channels. May be more manageable with lower flow. 4.2 on Page Springs gage. ~800 cfs per USGS gage.
3/16/2010: Page Springs to Cornville: Great Class II, open channel, lots of good surf waves. 3.62 on Page Springs gage. ~ 550 cfs per USGS
