ReporterThomas O'Keefe

We did this run in Jan 2006 at flows of about 1100 cfs on the Steamboat gauge (~3' on the paddlers gauge at the confluence bridge at the take-out). This was near the lower end of the range but still a great level. This run provides 10 miles of wonderful class III/IV rapids and is a good introduction to creeking. Be cautious of the approach to the big falls (just below one of the bridges) as there is a moderately challenging drop that leads to the pool above the big falls.
