River Description
A handful of lesser rapids intersperse seven awesome significant drops. Nearly all of them
warrant scouting and safety setup. While all drops have been run (at least on a sneak), many
paddlers are likely to portage (or sneak) at least two or three at most water levels. Also be
aware that all the gradient is up front, leaving you with a long flatwater paddle-out. Even so, I
doubt you'll be disappointed in the beauty and challenge of this run.
