Waimea

Late Nov, 2019: Just ran this in packrafts at 200-166 CFS (200 CFS when we started and 166CFS when we took out). It took about 6 hrs on the river including some photo stops, cliff jumping and one patch on a raft. The hike down was an additional 1:15. Probably would have taken 4 hrs on the river without stops if everyone could read ther river and stay in the deepest sections to avoid bottoming out. At this flow it was mostly class II with 2 class IIIs toward the middle. There were 2 sweepers in the last few miles, but easy enough to get around. We probably had to get out and pull the raft about 10 times for a few feet when it widened and swallowed. It was great trip. Totally worth doing in packrafts at this flow rate.
