Bacon Creek

Ran this on 5/7/2009 and it was about 900 cfs. The first set of V rapids described on this site are very steep class V drops leading into one another and end with the entire river dropping into a log choaked class VI drop. Below that are several more class IV drops that peter out into a couple of III drops. Just a warning for class II paddlers. This is not the run for you unless you want to portage over huge boulders and make some harry ferries for the first mile or more. Even after you get past the several class IV and V drops you still have several steep class III to III+ rapids, which are fun but definitely not class II. It was a fun run and a beautiful gorge but if I was a class II paddler, I would have been totally overwhelmed.
