Matthew Patrick Cusick crushing the class (TBD) line at Clavey Falls. Maybe the rating for this rapid should be flow dependent. In the mean time, there are strong ideas that this rapid is not class 5. Come see it at 6000 CFS and let us know what you think.

🌊🔥 TUOLUMNE RIVER IS CALLING 🔥🌊

The next 10–12 days are shaping up to be something SPECIAL out here… and you do NOT want to miss it.

We’ve got a potential environmental pulse flow May 8–11 that could push the river up near 10,000 CFS 😳💥 That means BIG water, powerful rapids, and the kind of adrenaline-filled days that people talk about for years.

👉 Yes — even with a below-average snowpack, we’ve got a real shot at HIGH WATER conditions. This is that rare window where everything lines up… and when it does, it’s GO TIME.

☀️ And the weather? Absolute perfection.
Forecast is calling for mid to upper 80s next weekend — warm sunshine, cool splashy rapids, and prime conditions for full-send spring rafting.

This is what Tuolumne dreams are made of:
🚣 Big waves
🌊 Technical lines
🔥 Epic canyon vibes
😎 Warm, sunny days
🤘 Crew energy on point

If you’ve been thinking about getting on the river… THIS is your sign.

Spots over the next 10–12 days are going to go fast — especially with that pulse flow window lining up.

Let’s run it. 🌊💪
