    Comment: There is a sketchy log jam in the canyon just before the 2nd jump. Looks like a classic strainer especially during high flow. I really wouldn't want to attempt this unless the flow is pretty low, 25 or lower.

    Comment: Safe flow. No unseen hazards. Awesome jumping and one of the most beautiful canyons in colorado. Don't bring a rope. AND NO BOLTS EVER!

    Comment: Jump/rappel 2 done as a slide. More jumps available by climbing up the sides of the canyon (with someone below to check depths). Brought a rope the first time, then lapped without it once all jumps were felt-out (aiming for the edge of the froth worked for all of the ones we did).

    5-4 wetsuit and happy. Others did 4-3 with shell

    Comment: After running the South Fork Mineral Creek, we decided to drive to the Cascade Creek water park near Durango. This is a tiny but very fun canyon can be run without a rope, all jumps and slides. It's too bad it's so short, so we run it twice.
