Comments: Flow was strong and made creek walking a challenge. Below the top confluence we avoided some narrow spots due to the flow. The upper drop, at the confluence, on the north side was not runnable due to the flow however the south one was perfect. Rappels were great and anchors offer options to be in the water but out of the main flow.

Comment: Lovely, cold day in Big Huck. We replaced the anchor for R2. R3 was a bit spicy as we were right in the flow and it was ice cream headache level cold! The road up to the top was bumpy but clear. Unfortunately, when we tried to return with the shuttle someone had a cut a large tree that fully blocked the road four miles from the top! We waited for two hours until help arrived with a saw. Our poor driver hiked the four miles up while the tree was cut. Beware of idiots with chain saws!

Comment: Water was a little lower than expected with all the rain but it was at a nice level. All anchors are in good shape. There is a bit of a creek walk out but there are some decent little slides and pools along the way. Added a sling to a log across the creek DCL for the last little drop.

Comment: Likely first descent of Big Huckleberry as no other anchors were found. Had somewhat low expectations dropping in, but turned out to be a quite lovely creek. Not destined to be one of the all-time classics, but enjoyable. Water levels were were great (but cold)... guessing we hit it in flood stage. Water levels likely drop off significantly heading into summer, but the creek was clear enough to suggest it runs all year. Might be worth checking out the east tributary as it had equivalent flow to the main fork.
