It was "permittable" today running at 147cfs, but after talking to a veteran who has done it 9 times, he suggested to wait until the downside of spring runoff as the temps. are much more pleasurable, plus he will show me an access directly into Deep Creek that eliminates 6 miles of hiking with a "boat on the back". |

Were you able to find a second boat locally there? |

I think Zion Rock and Mountain Guides still rents the "Tomcat", and if not there is a possibility I can conjure up one from a friend. Will wait closer to the time and see whats going on. I'm figuring it will be a may1 to may30 window? Just don't know until the runoff begins and then subsides? |

The more to pluck me out of the river when I fall in the better! Tell her this crazy woman needs life support. Maybe she will feel sorry for me and let you go. :popcorn:

Just got off the phone with the park. 12 permits were written today for the Narrows! Accessed via Chamberlain Ranch. I spoke with my friend and he is drawing me up a map for the access to Deep Creek. Cuts down the hike with a Duckie from 7 miles to less than 1! I may be looking to do the Narrows within a week.....If I cant access Deep Creek from the point he shows me because of snow or mud I'm going to load up my new Mega-pack with the duckie and head out from Chamberlain Ranch. I just need to find a day off next week and be sure the flow isn't much over 300! XXXXXXXXXXX Fingers crossed! Just a heads up to those that were interested! |
