Copper Creek

Put in below Certain Death. Felt like a medium flow at 1400 rising to 1900 throughout the day. Seemed like everything would go lower, but also still be fine higher. Obvious horizon lines made scouting straight forward, no significant wood issues to were in play. Triple Delight and Final Five were definite hightlights.

The shuttle road is not in good condition. Extra clearance recommended. Some potholes were road wide, with a foot or two of mud on the edges in a couple of places.

Good forgiving flow for the Upper section. Flow was challenging for the Final Five and nobody in our crew ran it. Big Falls was great and still forgiving.

Upper section is a solid step above the lower section in terms of difficulty except for Final Five. Very congested and difficult to boat scout. Wood could be a major hazard throughout the run but it was mostly clean for us.

EF Lewis gauge dropping from 1,500-900 cfs throughout the day.

The second and third drop of the Final Five.

Looking back up at Certain Death. Nasty undercut on river left at the second pitch of the drop.
Run river left-to-right, or try the right chute. Mayb be pin hazards for hardshells in the right side route.

Looking back up at the first three drops of Final Five Canyon
