Trip Report

ReporterChris Lambiotte

Typical rapid on the Middle Fork of Big Creek after the hike in. I took this from one of the larger eddies we encountered.
S-Turn Rapid (15 min down from put in). Mike caught an eddy on the right because just out of view downstream is a riverwide log jam (see log jam photo)
Potage around river wide log jam. Small eddies above the log jam and its at the end of S-Turn rapid (no good view of the log jam at the start of the rapid).
This is the hike to the put in on the MF Big Creek from the end of the road. It follows a pack trail for about 2 miles and goes up about 600 vertical ft at the highest point.
