NF Kings

[jeflevin]

Does anyone know what gear (rope length, etc.) is needed for Granite Gorge on the NF of the Kings? I've been wanting to check it out for a while now, and I'm sure someone here must have done it. I assume the water would be way too high now, so we're planning on September. Any beta would be greatly appreciated.

LOL! Yes the NF Kings would be too high to canyoneer down right now. The Kings itself is still flowing at 9000cfs, STILL too high to kayak even though it's July!

I don't know where Granite Gorge is on the NF, but one of the river flow stations shows the flow on the NF above Dinkey Creek confluence to be over 1000cfs still.
