We can't wait for the river to come down a bit and for the weather to warm! Right now there should be decent access down to Pit 3 and 4, but the flows from Pit 3 throughout the lower sections is high. The river looks to be pretty muddy on the lower end below Pit 5. Keep an eye on this page, we'll post the good news once the flows are good to go!
As always, the flows on the Pit can and will change without notice, so definitely check before you go! And be prepared to get out when the river begins to rise.

Here are some useful links to monitor the flows:
