Trip report URL:
Comments: Heavy, very cold water flow for this canyon. You take a real pounding on the first rappel, the second is easy to stay out of, the third is heavy, but not as intense as the first. Lower canyon is very brushy/overgrown with vines and briars, dead tree fall littering the canyon floor everywhere; very slow. There was still a few inches of snow in the higher elevations. No dangerous hydraulic issues. The 3 creek crossings on the drive were flowing pretty good - probably about a foot deep at the most.
