silver creek?

Charly Oliver Jul 07, 2008 11:57 PM

Lots of snow this winter has resulted in high runoff.

I just checked the American Whitewater website which lists Silver Creek
currently running at 178 cfs. Still pretty burly. But mostly I'm
interested in finding out just where the road is closed.

Anybody been up there? How far up the road above Index can you get?

Charly,
Wow 178 cfs. Kinda high still.
I've heard stories of guys doing it at 85 cfs.
But 178 sounds like the kayakers are loving it.
Thats if they can haul there boats all the way in.

I had time today to check out the road closure at Silver Creek.  Long story short: the rerouting of the North Fork of the Skykomish onto the road adds an additional 4 wet miles one-way to reach the trailhead I parked at in 2006.
 
I caught a waypoint at the roadblock which is listed on the attached topo.

Apologies if this went out more than once.  Since I never got the group email, I assume it didn't make it with photos attached.
