I have run it a few times my self. I don't really care for it myself. I ran it at like 6.5 feet and thought it was a little boney for my taste. In fact I ran it with Bryon Scruggs the first time.

Wood is here and there on the run, and you should certainly keep an eye out. Watch for eroding canyon walls and thats about it. Lots of braided channels and low gradient boulder gardens. Wiley Creek rapid was the only significant rapid of the run if my memory serves me correctly.

What I remember about the stilly is that the gauge is in Granite fall and by the time you reach the put in there is a lot less water. I would say 5 feet on the gauge is optimistic for thsi run.

Jon,

I'll do this river with you sometime when the water is there. It's not far from the house so I can jet over there fairly quickly and get a run in.
