Sandstone Creek, middle fork. 7-raps, 6-falls…
The approach was a bit thrashy, but once off the ridge it was a nice descent through the old growth with some nice Cedar stands. The rappelling started with a short “down & dirty” drop into a sub drainage just above the first set of falls…then 6-more raps over falls.
Today’s trip took 4.75 hrs. truck to truck…with a team of seven. I would rate the water flow at low to moderate low.
Beautiful sunny day, although no sun for us being deep in the canyon…
