Little sluice has too many options for going around and lots of rigs dont even come down into little sluice, where big sluice they only have one option to go down the trail with.

Yeah, I would think Big Sluice or Cadillac would be both good spots for good shots.  :yesnod: :thumbs:

Most people try Soup Bowl, its open and well lit. Then the Springs. Everyone hangs out and lots of cool stuff there. :)

I voted for Big Sluice because there isn't a bypass and there were several spots that could yield excellent pictures.  I also voted for the Soup Bowl because it would make for great pictures and it would be nice to have someone there with a sign to let noobs know where it was.  I never saw it on the trail and would have loved to give it a try.
