Trip Report
| Reporter | Joe Sauve |
As of 4/15/07 there were a few wood issues on this run. We portaged one tree across the river in the first mile, which was easily spotted and easy to portage. The 2nd log was another riverwide tree and it poses more of a hazard. It is (very approximately) about 2 miles into the run, the river takes a sharp right turn into a rocky class 3 rapid and there is a tree across the river at the end of the rapid.
The 3rd wood hazard was about 2 or 3 rapids downstream from White Lightning. There is a stout rapid here where the canyon walls close in and the river goes over a couple steep ledges. There is a log balanced across the boulders at the top of the first big ledge that goes about 3/4 of the way across. You may be able to duck under or go around, but we carried around to be on the safe side.
