River Description
One of the top creeks in the US. This creek didn't start getting attention until Bret Howard, Roy
Lippman, Tyler Williams, Hut Wade and Mark Knight attempted it first in '05. Roy broke his leg on
the 4th or 5th drop (a 10-footer into a shallow pool). Evan, Kyle and Todd G completed the first
d shortly after. It has been on the radar of steep creekers, worldwide, ever since its opening
and dramatic spring events.
Put In: Christopher Creek campground off the 260 just outside of Payson, AZ
Take Out: Downstream at Bear Flats (may require a 4 wheel drive) or hike out at
Spring Creek back to you car on the 260.
