Thinking about going to The Palace this weekend. Does anyone know what the river crossing is like right now?

But I'll always remember.

Okay, maybe not *always*. But at least through the weekend.

I waded about 2/3s of the crossing last week. Was headed up to Crystal Wall, but decided to check out the crossing for this weekend. Water was easily knee deep, but wasn't awful. A walking stick would make the crossing a breeze. Go for it and let me know how it goes!

Thanks, Ryan. I actually may not get there for a while, but I'll pass the word on.

We tried crossing about a week and a half ago and got turned back 3/4 of the way across. It was still flowing pretty quick and we're not large humans. We used trekking poles to help but it was still just a little too edgy.

On the bright side, Upper Echelon at Triple Tier was great.
