      Hi there. Clabber isn’t too long, just a series of waves which can stack pretty high. The only rocks are some flat escarpments on river right which you can sort of see in the video. We were paddling at a little higher than average flows. We had a friend take our car from the put in to Norfork and no, haven’t had the chance to go back to the upper yet!

      Dylan Rivera if I remember correctly there are quite a few spots off the trail where the Mt Massive main trail splits from the continental divide trail. That’s where we camped. I believe it’s a mile or two hike in from the trailhead. I’m sure there are spots at the TH as well.

We skirted 251 up to Pecos Baldy Lake due to the snow and recent blow downs, and instead bushwacked up Jack's Creek. Not too bad of an alternative. I'm sure the forest service has cleared the trail by now
