Sheep Creek (Bruneau trib)

I ran Marys Creek with three others in 2005. To my knowledge, this was the third and last descent. Over all, the willows were as bad if not worse than Sheep Creek. They were so thick and sturdy in one area that it was literally impassable, necessitating a portage. And I'm sure, like the other runs out there (Clover, Shp, EF, WF), this stream bed has seen substantial growth since.

As far as the run itself, the canyon looks much like Sheep above the confluence. The gradient is steeper and sustained though giving it the potential to have some of the best whitewater in the basin. All runnable. However, besides the willows, it would take an unusually high runoff event to provide enough flow to realize its potential. What looks to be more than enough water at the put-in proves low and terribly boat abusive downstream. Not recommended.
