   Topic: Sky Sultan Fiesta! Discussion Thread
Posted: 31 Aug 2007 at 9:27am |
This is the Sky Sultan Fiesta! discussion thread. Please post any questions below. Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Sky Sultan Fiesta! | Trip Page A quick warmup low water run on the sky in the morning, then hit the Sultan for some tight class IV action! Depending on the water level on the Sultan of course! People are more than welcome to run the Sky and skip the Sultan too! Oh, I need someone experienced to help me on the Sultan, because I can't remember where to park or run the shuttle?

Ummmm, it's in Index! As soon as you cross the bridge into Index, there is a rafting company on your left, just on the other side of street on the left also is the park. I like to park on the street next to park, because it is a really safe place to put my new car and there is a good launch spot on the other side of river. Don't launch at the rafting company though, they may not appreciate uninvited guests.

Oh boy, the Sultan is dropping. I will do the sky no matter what, but if the Sultan drops to low, I may cancle that part of trip. Keep your eyes on the gauge!

u guys are bonafide boat busters putin in up theres...
barely enough h2o to float boulder drop. I'd put in at the pull out just above BD off the road. Definitely shortens up the run, but extends the life of your boat (and toes). Unless of course your fondness for rock is all consuming. Just my 2 stones.
anyways, headed over the sultan now... little paradise should be good (hopefully).
I'll let ya know...
