Comments: First time doing this section for our group. Was involved in the SAR mission for an injured canyoneer here a year ago, so played it cautiously and really took our time. Did it as an out and back from Salmon River TH. Accessed river via drainage between Goat Creek and Kinzel Creek. Rappelled 5 times; replaced 3 anchors with new webbing and SS rapides: 1) Vanishing Falls; 2) rapid below Vanishing; 3) Final Falls. Noted a couple log strainers, but all near rapids and easily avoided. Water was pushy in a couple spots. Exited canyon by returning to trail 650m past Final Falls. Temperature was 5-10°F warmer than forecast for Welches.
