I'd love to see it this low (and I just want to paddle damnit). We did the lower a couple times at about 350-370, but is the upper possible in a hard boat at these levels?
Me n Dave elved the green this summer. I think the flow was around 280cfs. It was cool to see and more like working through a maze most of the time. Certainly was glad I was in an IK. Mostly just floated through trout fishing and sun bathing but if you like the run it is worth it too see low. Neat features and swimmin holes.
Wow, I am actually suprised to see that much water in it. When James and I ran it earlier this summer it was lower.
I have been riding my dirt bike out to pipeline this summer and swimming there a few times. There are some great swimming holes around pipeline below the drop.
Thanks Slick that was a fun day! We both had a great time. Highlights for me were seeing the cool bedrock features below many of the drops, the fall colors, lunch in the warm SUN (!!!), and the spawning salmon. I thought that pipeline was the best rapid - fun little creeky flume.
The run was surprisingly clean at 320 even in a hard boat. A bit disconcerting to see the undercut boulders in the nozzle though!
"That boated a lot better than it looked." "It always does until it doesn't."
Just thinking a couple of years ago we ran the Uppper Green at around 3k this time of year with sunny warm weather too. It is amazing what a little rain can do...
