East Canyon Creek

Ran this in 1 IK and 1 PackRaft. Here are our trip notes from a post work friday run down East Canyon Creek. Put In Miles Starting at Daybreak Dr & Dirt Road. Notes:

-1st Culvert(Optional Portage) at .9 miles, elevation 6,188ft. Eddy on river right if portaging. Watch for sharp metal at the end of pipe on the left/inside edge if running pipe.

-1st Fence: Sharp razor wire(Mandatory Portage) at 4.9 miles, elevation 6,074 ft.

Comes on a blind left turn after second low bridge, eddy river left, portage river left.

-2nd Culvert(Optional Portage) at 5.4 miles, elevation 6,058 ft. Comes after a left turn, plenty of time if you want to portage, eddy right & portage right if you choose to. Fences & private property will make you want to run the culvert. There is a drop in the culvert partway through it. No wood or obstruction on this run.

-2nd Fence: Worse Razor Wire Than 1st Fence(Mandatory Portage) at 5.9 miles, elevation 6,034 ft. Comes on a blind left turn, just below a series of S turns. You know your close when you see the remnants of old fence post on either side after running the second pipe. Head on a swivel.

-Take out at Mormon Flats BEFORE the low pedestrian bridge(Mandatory Portage).
