Trip Report

ReporterPaul Martzen

This was typical of some of the steeper drops, though a number were more congested. We successfully crashed down through this and most others. Such low water boating can be fun if you get used to it and you don't mind pinning and broaching and such. At spill flows, this becomes a delightful class 4 rapid.
