Comment: Pretty low at 35 cfs. Still super fun. No anchors on rap 1,4,5. Wet webbing knot block on rap 2. Some pools were not deep enough to jump into safely. The jump after rap 1 was plenty deep though.

Comment: We did the canyon twice in two days, enjoying the rare low water conditions. We found that the lower canyon is more tame than the middle, and more beautiful, with options to rappel around the hydraulic challenges instead of being forced to face them directly. We found that you can exit the canyon at almost any point, making it not very committing. Because of this, we took beginners through the lower canyon the next day and they did just fine. The jump over the waterfall on R3 is worth doing, especially in low water conditions.
