River: North Fork Virgin River
Segment: Headwaters
Flow: 350 cfs at gage downstream
Date: June 1998

Paddler: Brian Englehorn
Description: Rewards vs risks. Incredible canyon. Evacuation is virtually impossible from the headwaters canyons; the only way out is down. This could be tough with an injured shoulder, or if levels prove too high.
