Comments: Curley Creek appeared dry except for a few pools, but we went to run it anyway. Good to scope out the falls in dry conditions. We spent some time discussing options before dropping in. Really unique falls and cool to see up close. I'd like to come back to run it sometime with some water -- although high flows would probably be extremely dangerous. Note: R2 exits into a swimmer which is COLD! Colder than the Lewis River. Short outing, but really cool.

Comment: Not a canyon, but what a cool, super unique waterfall! One really nice pool on the creek walk in. I anchored off a tree stump DCL, and went around a rock down the main water flow. Once in the keeper pool stay on rope going around DCL, there are rocks to stay above water and climb out was easy. You could spend 1 hr just hanging out here, beautiful. I rapped all the way down on the one anchor and then ascended out. Ascending the bottom part is easy, but once in falls the final 10ft are pretty serious but doable and fun. Prob much easier to use a shuttle and just swim across the Lewis.
