Trip Report

ReporterRobert S. Farmer

In Maze, if there's enough water, you can turn left at the bottom of the chute, avoiding Undertaker Rock completely (best). If you have to go in front of Undertaker, be aware that it is a large rock sitting on three smaller rocks, so the water washes under freely, with almost no pillow. It's nice to paddle under at less than 200 cfs, but very scary at higher levels.
