There's some really neat canyon sections -- sort of like a lower flow, shallower, mini-version of the Firth. It'd be worth doing and hiking back up to get in the Firth, too. I think it'd be easy to get t the headwaters up the Sheep.Roman Dialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030457377194232207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095331523579939357.post-59236092070287636492017-07-26T01:19:43.527-08:002017-07-26T01:19:43.527-08:00Thanks Luc, a +1 from you is really always a log10...Thanks Luc, a +1 from you is really always a log10 version.Roman Dialhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030457377194232207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095331523579939357.post-43263878124471863112017-07-26T01:18:52.384-08:002017-07-26T01:18:52.384-08:00The work was in the planning.

Yikes! Lots of unanticipated extra walking as well as some dodgy side canyon crossings.Betsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05658932178767356523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095331523579939357.post-26500662601450187832017-07-24T10:30:34.416-08:002017-07-24T10:30:34.416-08:00Bears, ugh.
