Trip Overview
CFS 15000
Class IV- Paddling conditions Moderate
From Triple Bridges to Boat Take out Approx.6 mi
Time on water 45 min
River is near flood stage, high, brown, some partially submerged tree trunks, but no serious obstacles or dangers in rapids.
Strange hydrolics, most of the named rapids are submerged and large waves and sucking holes are in their place
Boat eater, and Boat flipper were not in play yet as water still seemed too high
Tumbleweed is a massive wave, but no drops since the rock is still underwater, same for fang
Will update on next run hopefully -10k flows for more whitewater play will do 11 mile stretch and update on full rapid conditions
