Oh no! What a terrible place to swim at the start of the canyon.  That's a long walk.

We should be able to catch it as the water drops.

We ran it at 22, and last I heard it was at 47 and rising.

Great river, good variety. That 1 km long one is something fun! Easy access and shuttle, thanks to Phil for that!

Great Trip today!

2 Swims, but nothing else and everyone is fine.

We had a small group of 5 people, which was nice in the canyon. Little more water, definitely makes things a little more interesting in the canyon, but not much different.

I took video, and will put together a quick video later today and post it.

I can't join but watch out for canoes barrelling down on you in the canyon! :-)

18 cms last year
22 cms now but I suspect it will be higher with the present big blob of rain over the area

what's a few extra cms .... extra padding

Have fun ... gone to Tremblant

Yes, yes, avoid swims in the canyon section, they suck!

Any idea what the level is like compared to last year?
