DOGPADDLE'S BA QUICK LIPS TOUR
(USGS On-Line, 6 to 8)
Launch 2/5's mile up trail from uppermost parking lot. II's and a III until the undercut King Pin Rapid(IV), go right's ledge or left's wave. Way-left has an avoidable sieve.
A III and a pool until Split Pin Rapids (III) with avoidable horizontal pins against left wall or a bottom right rock. Try tweezing the main middle rocks.
Below that pool is Chris' Crack (III/#@), with its rock tunnel between a massive boulder's backside and the right bank. Stay left, avoid way-right's trapping tunnel.
II's and a III until Parking Lot Rapid (IV) which is drop and plop, left or right, with an easily avoidable way-left, last drop, sieve.
Recover. Rinse. Repeat.
