Kayaking Quake Lake section of the Madison River in Montana level 1,600 cfs

[@GIBKEL]

I worked at Quake Lake 20 years ago and more and I always… always imagined what that would be like. Whoa! As scary as I imagined and seriously fast water with danger…danger…danger! What a run!

[@JohnMoorekayak]

Thanks. This was my first time there. I was surprised at how fast and sangerous the run felt. The person I was with said not to flip over or swim.

[@dg20120]

That’s a fun run. I ran it back in the late 90s. There were some spots where you definitely didn’t want to be upside down.

[@JohnMoorekayak]

Yeah that is the scary part u do not want to flip over

[@livenfree]

Wow that's intense white water all the way! What class Rapids!?

[@JohnMoorekayak]

Class 4 an 5. Yeah it is a really fast continuous run.

[@livenfree]

@@JohnMoorekayak does it slow after leaving the 1959 landslide area?

[@JohnMoorekayak]

@@livenfree actually the 1959 slide is what causes all the rapids.

Really cool! When did you shoot this?

[@JohnMoorekayak]

Thanks I shot it on July 9th, 2018

[@mckayandersen5858]

John Moore kinda late in the season for pogies. Must be pretty cold water?

[@JohnMoorekayak]

The water was cool but not super cold. I wear pogies a lot for sun protection. My grandmother and father both have had skin cancer and I have had a precancerous spot on my face.

[@mckayandersen5858]

John Moore Oh. Cool. I never thought of that.
