Comments: Randomly happened across this creek while looking for a campsite in the area. Came back the next day and ran the creek. Surprisingly fun with some beautiful rock formations and great flow. Somewhat akin to a mini-version of Fulton. Natural anchors are a bit sparse at several drops, so it may be wise to bring a bolt kit. Bolting would also let you run the flow on several drops, including R1 which is tight chute into a deep pool. Access is super easy -- a nice addition to creeks of the Wynoochee Valley area on the south side of the Olympics.

Comment: This canyon is a great short day. Five rapid fire rappels and jumps through a beautiful canyon. It's a shame it's so short. Placed bolts at R1 and R2. Will probably go back and develop a little further.
