Granite Creek

Tom, Mikenzie, and Clare boated from Canyon Creek Trailhead to Panther Creek. The trip was an hour in length with a 15 minute hike back up at the end. This was a good medium flow with rapids building in intensity toward the end. There was some wood in play and one log we had to slide over but otherwise the run was generally clean. While the rapids were generally class III, the last two bigger drops were III+ and pushing class IV-. Solid intermediate boaters are likely capable of the run from the Canyon Creek Trailhead down but those less experienced could find themselves over their head particulary at higher flows.

Log jam mentioned in 2008 still present. 1 log other log on Granite and 1 on Ruby. Both river wide, easy to duck on left.
