        Site Description:
        The tributary basins of Caribou Creek are all 
            arbitrarily designated with a "C". The C4 basin is the 
            largest of the Caribou Creek tributaries, and enters Caribou Creek 
            about 400 m above its confluence with Poker Creek. The flume in C4 
            is about 1 km upstream from the confluence of Little Poker Creek and 
            Caribou Creek. There is an intermittent tributary called Dry Gulch 
            that drains the Caribou Peak area, and which has a small Parshall 
            flume on it. The basin has a tributary known as Dry Gulch that 
            drains the Caribou Peak area, and is intermittent in its lower 
            reaches but may be permanent on the steeper upstream slopes. 
    

        Site Directions:
        The flume at C4 is reached from the Caribou Peak 
            trail. Heading north from the confluence of Poker and Caribou 
            Creeks, take a left at the Caribou-Poker Junction, go past the camp, 
            and up the hill about a mile. At the four-way junction, take a left 
            down the hill. If you are in a pickup truck, it might be best to 
            park at this point, as the hill is quite steep and any moisture 
            (rain, dew) makes the trail very slick. If you are on an ATV, 
            continue down the hill, past the turn to Dry Gulch, and park at the 
            turn-around. The flume is on a path that leads to the north (right, 
            if you are facing down hill). The trail continues on to a bridge 
            over the stream, but it is not maintained, and even ATVs will get 
            stuck. The Riparian clearing site is downstream from the bridge.
