Pebbles Or Boulders?

Sometimes you can see every rock in the river

Top photo: The Middle Fork is so clear you can literally see every rock in the river in some sections.

This photo is just upstream of Loon Creek. The river enters a shallow section punctuated by gravel bars and wider more open canyon walls.

You can easily be so fixated on the water and the colors that you forget about the rapid just ahead.

Four River System Has Changed. The season is open now.

Here is what you should do to get your permit application in.

1. Click here and get the new Forest Service document explaining the move.

2, Click here to set up an account at Recreation.gov and start the process.

I have already completed mine for 2009. It is actually an easy system to navigate. The permit for each river is only $6.00. This takes about five minutes. Nice. Remember to work the cancellation market later in the year, I think you have to put in a permit while the season is open. That means now.

Don't forget to invite me if you win a permit. Thanks.
