By far the best run in AZ. It's the YNP of the southwest. You need to boat more in AZ way better
shit than the flying-V. Try to score the agua fria. Edit

not to mention deadly. killed a kayaker at 200 cfs in 1993. scary bedrock features with dirty brown
water, pushy hydraulics, and the threat of jail time in the white mountain apache legal system,
always a good time Edit
