The List
Here is a list
of the same creeks by classification,
please don’t think this is an all
inclusive list. We basically wanted to
show what was the easiest to the hardest
to run. The list is shoehorned. Some of
the creeks are borderline on where they
should be, and were dropped down in
classification to fit in a slot,
especially when considering their water
levels, time of year and what gives them
the extra warranted risk of a higher
classification i.e. (Gradient, volume,
risk of life,rescue access etc.)
This is a
list
to use
as a
BASELINE ONLY,
for better clarification please read the
individual creek descriptions by
clicking on their links.

Author's side note:
As I researched these creeks, I found many ideas, articles and opinions.
The format and organization that is represented on this webpage is one that
did not seem to be represented by the other ideas out there. It is
certainly possible that someone else has employed this before. If so, I
apologize for the lack of attribution, but note that I did arrive
independently at all of my conclusions and opinions for the write-ups for
these creeks. As we try to capture details of the rapids and creeks,
remember that they have been there for generations before we “discovered”
them for ourselves.
If you happen to a take an interest in this section, please report back
through the feedback on your experiences and recommendations. This is "open
source collaboration" in every since of the word (to borrow a phase from the
software industry) and it will strengthen this website for all of us. You
will get full credit for any help given, and ANY help is fully appreciated.
Your pictures are fully appreciated also.
