Rafting Westwater Canyon, UT at 27,500 CFS (May 6 2023)

Includes footage of Skull rapid and lower rapids for those of you thinking of running it at crazy high flows. In general, almost all rapids were washed out (Skull and Little Dolores were still well-defined), and the biggest challenge was staying off the walls and navigating the pushy boils. Debris was a factor further upstream, but as the speed picked up into the canyon, the debris spread out. Cheers.

So weird seeing everything washed out! Thanks for the beta, we are running this weekend, looks like maybe one of the easiest flows surprising

I am DIZZY and motion sickness…. Can’t follow the video due to the constantly quick swinging from side to side, Camera views constantly changed, etc. makes for very inconsistent and rough video. Better luck next time

This is for information, not entertainment. Cinematography had to take a backseat to keeping the boat upright.
