Canyon Creek (S.F. Still. trib)

5 of us paddled this today, and it was a great flow at 6' (per the Stilly gage). Just a couple of weeks after the historic flooding, we were wondering how much wood there would be. But, as with all of the other rivers I've been on recently, the high water seems to have flushed out all of the wood hazards. There were a couple of trees in the river, but they were over near the banks and easily avoided.

The flow was great- a little bony in a few areas, but mostly a series of boulder gardens with multiple lines to explore. Fun but not scary rapids. Scenic, though it is fairly built-up on the banks- lots of houses along most of the run.

Fun class III- rapid near the end of the run.
Nice spot for a house, but this one is slowly coming down.
There are a few of these near the middle of the run. There are logs at the end of these, so watch the outside bend.

Typical rapids on this section: Some nice little waves and some rocks to avoid.
There must be beer or women...
This is the just below the put-in, which is on river right under the bridge. It looks cold for June, but considering the half-mile hike to get there, I wasn't complaining about the weather.
This is a fun rapid near the end of the run.
