Labor Day Weekend at the Upper Yough

This past weekend I ran the Upper Yough with Katy, Bion, Ally, Dan, and Jim. The weather was perfect and the river wasn't very crowded because a lot of people went to the Beaver and Raquette releases in New York. Below are some pictures of our run.

There wasn't a release on Sunday, so Katy and I hiked into the Upper Yough to see what it looks like at low water. Needless to say, it looks a lot different! On our way out we removed the log in the river right slot of Triple Drop, which has been the scene of at least two close calls this summer. Now Gauley season is upon us. Be safe out there!
