just to double check, is the best way to hike in to watch the robe race tomorrow on the trail off of mountain loop highway and green mtn. road?

thanks,
Matthew

Definately, there you can see T1 T2 and Last Sunshine...  Good drops.

However, it's raining pretty hard at my house now, and probably harder up there.  I'm afraid the level may come up considerably...  Not sure, anybody else have thoughts?
H2O please

Oh wait... I'm not sure if thats the right trail, you want the robe historical trail, 7 miles out of granite falls.  There is some parking and a red brick tombstone sign marking the beginning...

It's a fun hike, cool tunnels and cooler rapids...  The bridge made by the retaining wall that washed away (about a foot wide, but 100 foot up) is great unless you have vertigo issues





H2O please

yep, follow the trail down from the brick sign to the railroad grade. Not far downstream is the start of the rapids. Last Sunshine is immediately after the tunnel.

There you have it. The water level did indeed spike pretty good- seemed likely yesterday while we were out there. As a result the Competitors' Meeting has been bumped back to NOON at the T.O. so you can adjust your timing accordingly.

By then it should drop out some, but it'll still be a stout healthy flow for a race!
Those first three drops are good spots to watch, and Last Sunshine is especially exciting...

I can say that we're really stoked folks are coming out to check out the race!
See you guys out there!
