Trip Report

ReporterDaniel Cottam

This run can be done down to 100 CSF. We did it around 150. On the river there were people in cheap lake kayaks, inner tubes, 14 ft rats, paddle boards and basically anything that floats. Our time was done in duckies. Faster than most but slower than the pack rafters. We did not do a lot of hiking and only stopped for a short lunch. If you decide to go at these water levels start early or go overnight as it does not move very fast. There were no logs or obstacles to impede flow. It gets cold quickly in the desert and once the sun goes behind the mountain it get cool fast. The high was 66 but when we got off the river at 650 pm it was in the high 40's and everyone was very cold.
