This 23 mile run is a kayakers dream of what a river should be. After a great breakfast at the Wanona Lodge. We had planned on doing a 2 day run. Taking are time and moving slow we were on crystal clear water of Merced around 11. The boulders gardens are a maze, huge granite rocks make up the first part of the run. Then the run changes to bedrock and 100 rapids later take you to main Merced. We bombed the run in one day, with everyone taking turns droping into big rapids. I didn't take many photos due to trying to get down before dark. This is one my favorite rivers, so many runnable rapids. The fire hose at the end was classic, we were so tired and no one wanted to get out of their boat we dropped in to a whiteout.. Making memories hahaha...
