Water flow was light but enjoyable. The algae blooms were pretty big in some of the standing ponds of water but overall, the canyon was in great condition. The only negative was the massive amounts of poison ivy all over the canyon floor. The bottom area of the last big rap was just covered in PI and it made for a nerve-wracking hike up the sneak exit. We all promptly stripped down and changed as soon as we got to our car for fear of a major spread of PI oils.
