Trip Report

Now that the run is listed here, I thought I'd add some pics from a descent in the spring of '03. This run is a lot of fun, but don't even go if you're not prepared for some bush-wacking, steep portages, and steep tight drops. Don and I have run most of the drops, and I know Bobby Miller has run another one or two (Any input Bobby?). A couple are definately no-go's. On one decent, at Crash Landing, we came over the ledge to find another group of boaters. Three of the four boats on shore were pig-nosed and the guys decided to hike out from there. It will be a long day no matter what.
