A video my buddy Jeff filmed and edited:
To quote Jeff:
"I thought it would be a unique experience to do Zero Gravity when it is dry (or at least very low water). It is a super fun canyon when there is tons of water!
It was 98 degrees around the time we did Zero Gravity, but there was a nice 10-15mph wind to help cool us down on the way up to Zero G. Pretty much all the good swimming holes and places to jump in were completely dry. The big swimming hole where you can pretty much always jump off was only about 4ft deep. It was missing about 4+ feet of more water. I wouldn't recommend jumping in at that level.
There is a tight squeeze at the end and in the video there was some blue webbing there. It's not usually not there but was nice to have when only having 1 hand due to filming. The water was deep enough that you could still jump into the last pool at the end like I usually do, but wasn't sure of the current depth and was too tired to climb back up.
Zero G is about 5.27miles (per the GPS, see pic below. Actually it about 3miles) roundtrip with a 670ft vertical elevation gain; and it took us 2 hours to do.
This video is fast forwarded a little more than normal just because there is a lot of slot and I wanted to show how long it is."
Enjoy!
The swell is very very dry.
