Attempted this run in July of 2008. Didn't get to finish it, but hope to go back. Lovely little canyon. We encountered 3 log portages above Beaver Creek, with little stopping room. There's a great camp river left a 1/4 mile above Beaver Creek. Shortly below Beaver is a nice gorge section with lots of linked up III-IV moves and some wood. This canyon is solid IV at medium flows. There's a mandatory portage (right) around a log at the beginning of this section, and the gorge is worth a scout from the trail on river left, at least to check for wood. Once below the portage at the top of the short canyon, the series of drops was clean, though there's wood around if you are off line or swimming. Below the gorge, there's lots of wood but we didn't find any portages between the gorge and Monumental bar. --Brian Vogt Edit

Beautiful run. Lots of trees/strainers in the upper section. Great fishing and lots of wildlife. No hot springs. Several cool rapids. Very enjoyable trip. We've done it 3 times over the last 10 years. Great Idaho wilderness experience for us PA boaters. Edit
