Skillet Creek

Large log submerged roughly 12 to 18 inches below surface (during normal summer flow). Sitting at a shallow angle (rising from river right to river left). The log ends about two feet from the left canyon wall. There is no possibility of negotiating around the log, your bow will get stuck under it and you will be trapped. Ouch! Uppon close inspection by swimming up to the log, it appears that it is lodged very well and will take very heavy flows to clear it from the pool. Major bummer!

This is the 2nd drop in a sequence of 3 drops that make up skillet falls. Opposite from the gorge section, the drops in Skillet falls are largest to smallest from upstream to downstream.
This photo shows the last and largest (about 10-12 feet) of 4 drops in Pewitt's nest with the 2nd (5 feet) and 3rd drop (about 8-10 feet) in the background. There are no eddies between drops 3 and 4, so don't get caught in the sticky hole at the botom of drop #3!!!
