Info from StreamKeeper Cody Howard:
Drive up to Half
Moon Campground, and then hike the trail up along the creek. You will see a sign and a side
trail to go look at the Falls, worth checking out so you know what's coming up at the end of the
run. Continue to hike up and you'll cross a bridge; hike up the hill almost to the top, and then
head down to the creek.
-You should come to an 80-ft slide that constricts at the bottom; this is the Pinch. Put in and
run it, or below it, but be careful because there is no warm up, and it's a tricky slide.
- There will be a bunch of clean slides, including Gambler, a right banking slide into a gnarly
hole.
- From there you will go underneath the bridge and it will turn into a boulder drop. GET out as
soon as the canyon constricts because you've got to portage the upper half of the falls.
- Run the lower half of the falls (shown in Twitch) and then you'll come to Shakedown (last
slide) and then get out at Half Moon.
---> Definitely pick up a copy of Montana Surf, the guidebook, for a more detailed description
of the creek and surrounding runs. Beautiful guidebook, which you shouldn't be without.

Service. Keep your campsite tidy and use the bear proof containers for food storage. The rangers
are cracking down and the fines are steep.
