Trip Report
| Reporter | Steve Flanagan |
These are the first falls on River Left. Its important to hit it at the right spot & this water level is the minimum since there are rocks at the bottom. Easy scouting & take out locations to the river left side. (But watch out for the girl scouts - its their camp & they will call the police.)
Joe hucked these falls at least a dozen times during the summer of 05, at various water levels, without incident. Best scouting locations & trails on the river left side (but beware of the girl scouts - it's their turf)... On 3 AUG 05 Joe, Luke Swenson & I entered the falls decent at about the same location with slightly higher water. When Luke Swensen ran it, he got pushed left on the decent & got bounced around a bit. When I ran it, I got pushed slightly left and then got spun left - completing the ascent & entering the water backwards. But no carnage for any of us (on these big falls anyway).
Joe running No Balls for the Falls - probably the most dangerous & churning section of the creek. He entered it this time from river right entrance. Best scout location is on the river right immediately after the 3rd Right Falls.
