| Big Timber Creek on the Yellowstone River |
The run starts 1/4 upstream of the second bridge. "No Worries Falls" is the first drop; it is a fun two-tiered drop leading into "O's Woes", a low-angled slide. Scout the next few smaller drops for wood. If they are clean, running them requires precision boating. Below the pool is "No Way Out" which a manky jumble of boulders and wood; it might be worth a miss. The river splits after this. Stay right as the left side can't be run. The right slot leads into the "Tripple Dipple" a tight three-tiered slide. The "Pinch" comes next; it is an 80' slide that ends tightly constricted rage. A couple more slides bring you to the "Gambler", a slide that leads into a burly hole. Big T Falls is after. The upper falls is typically unrunnable, the bottom portion is known as the "Twitch". "Shakedown" is the last slide before the take-out at the campground.
