Great Fun But has a Sieve half way through

ReporterKeenan Peters

Ran at 250 CFS. It is a beautiful canyon with some fun rapids! It is very easy to scout from the road all the way and if you decided not to do that it was easy to eddy hop to scout or hop out of the boats and look at things. There was one river wide log which you could go over on the left but we chose to portage. There was more wood but it was easy to avoid. There was a sieve about half way through (Shown in photo) that one member of our party got stuck in. Luckily was an easy rescue. There is a lot of BLM land aroudn to camp for free on or the New Joes Campground is another great option for camping but it costs $5. Word on the street is there is good climbing here too if you're looking for multisport days! Have fun and be careful!!
