Solo in packraft. Nice to be back after so long! Encountered a woman and her daughter having a bit of an epic--hopefully I helped them out of their panic. Tried to run on June 14 before we did Deso, but had a comedy of errors: took forever to get there in the Puch, so I was behind all day. Then the brakes failed, and I misplaced the skewer for my MTB which was to be the shuttle. There are people out there these days, so I probably could have mooched a ride. But after all that, it was raining upstream, so I bailed. I got rained on hard on the way out, but the wildflowers were awesome and I exited through Sinbad and Swazey's cabin, which I don't remember ever doing. |

Excellent conditions for the float (though a bit busy), enough water that we never had to drag our kayaks |

Awesome!! Floated it in a Pack Raft @ 180 cfs. One of the best floats ever. Might be able to enjoy it with less flow, but not tons less. |

Even in high water there are plenty of shallow rocks. Very scenic and fun. Long hike out at the end. |

Gotta be the coolest float I have ever done! The SRS never ceases to amaze me! I love having this as my backyard! |

190 cfs was about the minimum and still got caught on a few rocks. Way more fun than expected and the landscape is stunning. Music Canyon is worth the side adventure. Didn't make it to chimney canyon, so I have a reason to go back. |
