Trip Report

Some friends an I have run this creek back in the 60's, and there were others before us who stunted along Tinkers creeks banks. Once was in a 16' aluminum canoe.

Best water is when winter blesses the area with heavy snowfall as it did when growing up in the area, then when thaw occurs Tinkers famously will spill it's banks and truely show what this creek is made of. The tunnel becomes impassible on feet as the water line seen in the past was 15' or higher up the wall.

This place flows tons of water from snow melt that is shed from the sloping plains along Tinkers creek valley & gorge.
