Red Creek

On Dec 6, 2014 - did a med level run down Red Creek. Since we were staying at Old Timberline (behind the gate), we were able to hike in via the Valley View trail at the top of the hill (next to Timberline). The hike was easier than coming in the traditional way (via Red Creek Campground) and took us about 35 min of mostly downhill (trail 511 towards Blackbird Knob). We put on the Left Branch of Red Creek and were able to paddle the full way down to confluence which (took about 35 mins). The Left Branch was very low and scrappy but never got out of boat and no real wood issue. Once we joined main flow - all was good. Some newer wood in Clapper and some other random spots but most drops clean and fun.
