As you have probably heard, Canyon Creek is back. After bitching about not being able kayak during the insane flood, I was able to reap the benefits. The epic flooding washed out the giant logjam on Canyon Creek. I would like to take credit for this happening, as it washed out as soon as I got to Portland. But I think I will settle for having a great, close, classic run that makes half-day trip possible.
The water was pretty high, I was expecting some hard class IV, but ended up getting a lot more than I asked for. Luckily some locals showed up and showed us down. I ended up flipping and going deep off of Kahuna, which caused my skirt to implode (first time!). Pretty stout run for a newish boat, and a new style of river. Many more canyon creek runs to come.
