River Description

Mileage and gradient from Embick, who considers it one of his favorite rivers. "Narrow enough at the top to throw a rock across, and and at the bottom not much wider than a boat length and often undercut, the Kuskulana Gorge is visually spectacular from the air and from the rim,, and incredibly so from far down inside, in a kayak..." His description makes you want to toss your boat onto a snowmobile right now and head for the Wrangell Mountains.
