Getting towards the lower end of the range but still acceptable with enough water to get down the river. It was just over 2 hours for the full Upper Middle run from the Taylor River down to Granite Creek. There were a few rock hits in a couple of the rapids.

Packrafters walked a short distance up the Middle Fork Trail to put in just upstream of the Taylor River confluence.

We were surveying for Harlequin ducks and although we did not see any we saw 9 Merganser including one with ducklings and a pair of geese with goslings.
