River Description

Section contains:

The Chute, a twisting 10' drop over a ledge and large boulders, followed by an undercut cliff (left) and an undercut rock (right) (class III-V). Scout the Chute river left...watch out for lots of Poison Ivy on trail.

Between these named drops lie 0.4 mile of boulder bed rapids (class II-III).

The Gorge, two steep ledges and a narrow canyon with sheer 50' walls (class III-V). Start extreme right through the upper 2 ledges. Move to river left to go through the gap on the far left for ledge #3. Then aim toward center of the narrow "throat" section of the Gorge.
