When we attempted the descent on October 15, the recorded flow on the Merced River was about 300 cfs at Pohono Bridge and 170 cfs at Happy Isles, which is about double the flow this September and about 10 times the historical median flow for October 15. The water level in many places was probably 1-2 feet higher than shown in those photos.
