Trip Report

ReporterMark Zakutansky

Was on bear on 8/2/2008 at well over 1,500 cfs. Trees were very much an issue in the upper half. Only one tree was especially a problem mid-rapid and led to a member of our group broaching, swimming and walking off. The others were carefully avoidable. Use caution. Another crew took off of Bear within the first few miles because of wood.
