Two Fantasy Falls Laps in One Day!!

Double Fantasy!!
A decade ago most people considered Fantasy Falls to be a three day trip, but as gear, abilities, and knowledge have all gotten better, many folks started running Fantasy in one day.
A few years ago, we did a one day Fantasy Falls lap and started thinking that you could definitely do two laps in a day. Yesterday our dreams became a reality as the flows, timing, and people all lined up perfectly! After more than 40 river miles and 8 miles of flat water lake paddling, our bodies are sore, but our souls are full and we got run Fantasy Falls twice in a day!
We put on at 5:37 AM for lap one, making it to the lake in 4 hours and 20 minutes, then to takeout in 5 hours and 45 minutes, just faster than our 6 hour goal. After tweaking his back on the first lap, unfortunately Ben Coleman decided to not go for lap two, so Isaac Hull drove the two of us back up for lap 2. We put on at 2:30, feeling tired, excited, and motivated. We went a bit slower on the second lap, making it to the lake in 4 hours and 45 minutes and to takeout in 6 hours and 15 minutes.
Paddling across Salt Springs reservoir is never the highlight of paddling Fantasy Falls, but after our second lap, the sunset put on an incredible show for us as we paddled the 4 miles across the lake and showed up to takeout with just as much light as we began the day with. Total times car to car: 15 hours 10 minutes from 5:37am to 8:47 pm.
Thanks to Ben for the constant inspiration to play as hard as absolutely possible in the High Sierra’s and being excited about pushing the athletic and endurance side of paddling, we really wish you could have joined us for lap two! Next time? And to Isaac for being the ultimate shuttle driver and making our dreams a reality!
