Headwaters To Wilderness Boundary Paddle Report

Summary

The ideal streamflow range for this run is between 200 and 1,000 cfs, with the best time to visit being in the spring and early summer.

One of the most notable rapids is the "Devil's Toilet Bowl," which is a class IV rapid that should only be attempted by experienced rafters. The "Red Dome" is another challenging rapid that requires precise maneuvering through a narrow chute.

There are specific regulations that must be followed in this area, including a permit requirement to access the river. The permit is available through the Bureau of Land Management and is limited to a certain number of users per day. Additionally, all visitors must pack out their trash, follow Leave-No-Trace principles, and avoid damaging the sensitive riparian habitat.
