Rio Brazos

We had a diurnal of 400-600cfs on the Brazos gauge for our trip which I think is a medium flow. I'd like to go back with flows a little higher. In the 500-700cfs range. Any higher and you'd be getting your stomp on because the run is continuous. We did it in 2 days giving us plenty of time to safely navigate and not get rushed into camp. The rock is brutal on your kayak and we had 2 broken boats. Bring your welding/repair kit for sure. Trying to send SPOT messages out of the canyon was pointless due to the gorge and massive walls. Rescue here is dubious at best and trying to escape the canyon vertically would be extreme. Escape downstream without a boat would be extremely difficult. We camped about 1.5 miles downstream of Bird's Nest in a wooded area. Not the best camp yet the only one we could find. We found evidence of other camps yet the shoreline has changed making them no bueno. Bring a solid crew who's comfortable boat scouting through complex grade IV/V.
