Trip Report

ReporterDan Mirolli

I've done the Upper meadow twice. The first time at about 1250 cfs and the second over about 2200 and rising. At the first level, I'd say the river was class III- lower class IV.

At the higher level it was very difficult and I'd say it was in the solid class IV - lower class V range. A swim would have really been a bad idea at higher water.

A fantastic run at 1200 cfs+ though.
