Trip Report

If you like going really fast, Devil's slide is for you. Drop in and hang on tight.
This is the last of a 5 drop series that comprises Devil's Slide. Gene seal launched into the slide from river left. The entire series may be run, but a perfect line and a bit of luck is required.
This is the top portion of the slide.
Not really sure if this rapid has a name. It comprises a slide that enters a short flume. The flume quickly opens up and puts you into a 8-10' drop that lands into a powerful hole. Although the hole looks bad, our experience is that it flushes without too much effort.
Gene is heading for the pit, but fear not, it's not as bad as it looks.
This is the last drop of Lower Willow Creek if you take out at the parking lot. It's a flume slide that takes shoots you from left, to right, to middle.
