Trip Report

Be very careful if you paddle the upper section from mine 18 to barthell, start with 1,2 and maybe a 3 but when you get about halfway thru they are several fun drops but one drop is about 4 foot and goes into a 3 foot impassable cave, we wedged a kayak here and almost lost it, had to camp overnight,I would recommend only for very experience paddlers that are sound in technical situations, make sure you have a throw bag.
