Paddled this for the first (and last) time April 4-5, 2009, level at Lily was mid to high 500s, which felt low, but sufficient. I don't want to sound like a snob, but I feel that I should say something to those considering this run. 1) LOTS of FLAT water. This run re-defines flat water. Many long pools with pretty much zero current; if you don't paddle, you don't go anywhere. 2) We were attracked to this run because several people reported mind-blowing scenery. Yes, there are a good number of scenic spots, but they represent 10% of the run. Most other plateau runs way out-compete this run in the scenery dept. I'm never going back.
