Payette, S. Fork

Fun trip with a small group from Pine Flats down to Danskin that then continued on through Swirly Canyon as we picked up more friends there. We launched at Pine Flats around 10:30 am and got to Big Falls around 11:00 am. We had some shenagins associated with a dropped paddle at the portage, chasing it down, and pulling out a breakdown in the meantime that ended up taking nearly 30 minutes. We were down to Lone Pine by noon and reached Danskin a bit before 1:00 pm. This was a good flow for those who are looking to step up for their first canyon run. The rapids are nicely filled in but without the push in between that comes at higher flows.
