River Description

This is a little known run, and for a good reason. Sounds like it's very manky, extremely continuous, and very easy to blunder into the Class VI rapids. I've heard it's very popular with nudists and gays. Sounds like there is some good climbing there too.

See Colorado Rivers and Creeks II, by Banks and Eckardt (The Bible), for info on this and most of the other kewl runs of Colorado.
