Youghiogheny

A friend and I ran the Tippy-top Yough and the Top Yough yesterday. We parked at the put in for the Top and hiked a mile and a half upstream on river right. It had snowed the weekend before and we followed the a deer trail through the woods. The hike in was as much of an adventure as the run.

The run was a lot of fun and we found it to be well worth the effort. There were three boulder garden rapids that reminded me of smaller versions of Suckhole, without the seive. The rest of the rapids were smallish ledges and slides that would certainly be more fun in higher water.

While the whitewater was of a lesser difficulty than the Top Yough, it was still plenty of fun. It also added several good rapids to what is already a fun run (on the Top Yough).
