Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportThe top section (commonly known as the 'boulder garden') is runnable down to about 180cfs at the boat scrapiest. It all channelizes really well. Definitely a bit tight and a bit more pin potential but a lot of fun. Putting in above the boulder garden and going upstream in a long boat is also fantastic for attaining at about 220cfs.
