Written by Candice Larson, photos by Sam Westover:
10 of us celebrated the last day of the year on the headworks section of the Green River. Outflow at the dam was 1220 CFS. The temperature was high 30s, but sunny and clear. One packraft, 1 canoe, 8 hardshell kayaks.

This was my first time since the flood. We ran the park. The braided section under the first bridge changed, but no other changes. No wood. Surf waves were in.
