Does anyone know if Boundary is still flowing? Thanks.

Did it four weeks ago. Just a small flow then. My feet got wet when I was on rappel, but not the rest of my body.

Thank you, baustin. :gents:

Sounds like it might be dry by now. Does anyone have more recent conditions?

Likely bad form to cross post, but a recent conditions update from the CC: (full thread here: http://canyoncollective.com/threads/boundary.22033/)

-----------------------Report from this weekend is that Boundary is dry. On the hike in, the stream is running a bit, but it goes dry before the head of the canyon.

Boundary not necessarily a good canyon for noobs. It is remote. Something goes wrong, you are a long way from help. Jus' sayin'... You did not make a statement about your skill level, so I am just stating the cynical viewpoint.

Fat Man's can be brutal => threatening heat exhaustion in July, or it can be good. But clearly, a long day, especially for noobs.

Pipe Spring Canyon is somewhat lesser level than Boundary. Still remote, but quite a bit shorter day. Just rappelling (essentially), and only half the MIA exit. I think this would be more enjoyable for noobs, and you would not have to rush the pace all day like you would in Boundary.

What's wrong with Pine Creek? recent reports say almost no water in there.

I've never heard of that site. I bet it's adorable.

But really, thanks for the info ScottM. :gents:
