Thought you all might enjoy some eye candy from a recent trip to the Sierras & Sequoia National Park!
Flows in the Sierras were lowish…though noteworthy in Sequoia.
Jump typically runs between 5-10cfs and is dam controlled. In past years due to low snowfall the release rates were lowered to 3cfs. We discovered the day before we arrived Pacific Gas & Electric (utility) had shut off water release from the dam to see how much it was leaking. We were verbally told 1.3cfs by a PG&E employee actively measuring the creek as we passed. …Bummer. Still a great time!
Featured canyons: Lower Stevenson, Jump (upper & lower), Chrysalis, North Fork of the Kaweah.

Very cool! In all aspects.
The presence of water (in appropriate CFS) just adds that extra bit of spice….beauty, energy, challenge, acoustics….and on and on.

Wow Chrysalis looks like it pumping! I would have never thought.
