Kane Creek water level?

Anyone know how high the water level is on Kane Creek?

I was camped below Killer Kane a few days ago, and the level seemed pretty low (not sure on exact depth) compared to recent years

Seems fairly reasonable right now, but the mountain snow hasn't started melting yet. Last I heard, the La Sals are way over 200% of average.

That place has to change daily...hourly even! I am south of vernal right now and we have to deal with summer runoff streams and rivers to get to the rig I am on and it can be interesting when you hit the road after a warm day! Kane Creek has to be an even more extreme example of that.

I have gone through there and seen very recent evidence of flash flooding and I have to say our whole group would have been dead if we saw the levels evidenced by the debris markers on the trees and banks! I am always nervous when I do trails like that...ALWAYS!!

Thanks guys, that's just what I needed. I thought that the big run off may have started. I also get a bit jittery playing in a drainage this time of year.

Yeah I ran that trail during EJS week for the first time in about three years and I was amazed how much it has changed. Always a fun trail when your not having to worry of you are going to get swept downstream
