Trip Report

ReporterAndrew Koch

Most recent run of the Red on Sun april 3rd.

Great level, proabably around 700 or 800cfs. It's different from the guage on most occasions. All the large rapids are clean and wood free, however, there are numerous smaller rapids with strainers. Some are nearly river wide and the path around is only visible at the last moment. Most rapids have an eddy making boat scouting possible. If you run this river at higer levels, don't let the flat water fool you. Please take this run seriously. It DOES have consequences.
