Deer Creek is spring-fed, so the water level is the same year-round. Here's the source of one of the side-forks - clear, clean water just gushing out of the wall. We nearly perished getting here, and it sure felt good.

There's a short section of nicely vegetated camping-type area before Deer Creek drops into the gorge. We camped there.

Next day, we gear up and walk the 15 minutes to the Gorge. The route starts by walking around and avoiding a short waterfall by downclimbing this ramp. Bit of a drop at the bottom - we sequenced and then counter-weighted.

The gorge starts with some little waterfalls and a bit of downclimbing.

Between the five of us, I think we had SEVEN cameras going. Gendron was shooting video, Hart his double-take set up, etc. It took fetchin' forever to get down the initial section.
