Thunderhole Creek

Hiked Thunderhole Creek after approximately 4.5in of rain 4 days ago with just under a half inch today. I was surprised to see the creek was holding well. Overall I'd say it was on the low side & probably the bare minimum of what I'd want to run it at. The run has several nice ledges. The highlight is Thunderhole Falls which is about an 8ft sloping ledge boof into a horseshoe rock feature. This does create a curtain behind the rock & I suspect at high water this is an extremly nasty looking feature. Lead in to it has a few holes but probably enough speed to where they wont be an issue. Pool below is plently deep & calm for a rescue.

I'd say put in at the bridge over New Years Creek, nice looking slide rapid. Anything above this is going to be extremly scrappy & I didn't see any rapids worth the effort. If going all the way to Upton it could be a long scrappy paddle out unless its raging. Use the short take out to cut this part out. All the good stuff seems to be between New Years Creek & the short take out in my opinion.

Further upstream is China Creek which is a major tributary & it has a couple nice looking slide waterfalls which I think could be ran with the right flow.
