Jarbidge, West Fork

I ran some sections of the WF Jarbidge in early June 2019, when the Bruneau Gauge was around 4000 cfs. At those flows this little creek was extremely continuous, had holes and boofs, and was great fun. It moves fast at high water! Was dodging trees, willows, and branches the whole way -and made sure to pre-scout the sections I ran thoroughly. Without wood this whole thing would be very fun. Instead, running longer portions would be quite the pain and a little dangerous.

With a saw (and/or brush cutters) and a couple hours of time, some of the sections could be cleaned out and made substantially longer. Check this creek out if you're headed to a multi-day on the Bruneau. The Forks campsite (EF/WF confluence) is also a great spot to hang out, and is free. At higher flows a wave starts to form on the confluence.
