Ran this from the campground just above Canyon Creek down to Kirkam Hot Springs @ about 1200 cfs. Canyon Creek rapid was ok. There was a fun little drop between there and Bonneville Hot Springs. Also, just above Bonneville there is a neat 3 tier drop rapid. Next was Chapman Creek rapid which was not any trouble. About a mile after that though was the most difficult rapid. Thought it was about a +III or IV. Then it was swift water till Wake Up. Got pushed against a wall and into a bad eddy on river right. Swam there. Last rapid Kirkam Gorge and then some hot springs soaking. Fun run. Very long day.
