Comments: Fun and easy. Canyon got more interesting and flow roughly doubled at the confluence of the two forks of Sailor, agree that the East fork looks potentially exciting.
We found the large waterfall rappel after the confluence to have a bit of a circulation in the pothole near the top and a hydraulic at the bottom. Neither presented a hazard given the conditions, but something to watch out for in higher flow.
Don't underestimate the exit, it's a steep slog. We also found it to be incredibly buggy at dusk in late May; I'd recommend aiming to finish before then. It took us about two hours at a decent pace from the "recommended exit" to the intersection of Sailor Flat and Sailor Mine trails.
I wouldn't expect our time overall to be representative of an average group, we took it very slow. Probably bias toward the high end of the 5-8 range though.
