It's crazy how everything looks so different after the fire. Beautiful water, thanks for the video!!

[@chrispaine2265]

It really is! I’m a little bit desensitized to it now since I’ve been through a few times and there’s been lots of rebuilding. The first couple of trips it was really difficult to look at.

Carnivore looks so boring at this flow! The flatter stretches look more exciting, though. Thanks for sharing.

[@chrispaine2265]

Yep, that one seems to fill in and get easier the higher the flow. Spencer’s was surprisingly mellow too. But like you said, some of the lesser known rapids had a little more oomph to em.

Swirlies is no joke, I think it earns its name are far as swirlies go.

[@chrispaine2265]

It’s definitely distracting getting pulled in multiple directions all at once.

I came for the personal worst line over mill city falls

[@chrispaine2265]

Such a boneheaded move messing up the entry like that. I’ve been through that rapid so many times. It’s an adventure every time.
