Description

In the summer of 2013 a massive rain storm filled the gorge with copious amounts of water and flooded tributaries. Camp Creek enters on river right and the drop you can see on Camp Creek was run during that storm. The rocks that seem to be blocking the creek from entering the Twelvemile were actually moved by the force of that small creek. A young man died on when Camp Creek flashed and trapped him in his car, which was found several days later.This stream will explode in an instant with the right amount of rain, giving the Class V crowd some local excitement when combined with nearby Todd Creek on a rainy day. AW's wonderful software turned the picture sideways....
