Gauge Description:

Low:	150 - 250 cfs
Med	250 - 400 cfs
High	400 cfs and up

This is one of those runs where inches of difference on the gauge
equates to feet of difference in the water level in the gorges.

The run gets progressivly better up to 3.3 (the ideal level); Above that it bets progressivly scarier and HUGE!

At low water (<3.0) this is a bony Class IV/V run.
At medium (3.0-3.3) it gets harder/pushier and rates a solid Class V. This is the best level for the Lower Gorge.
At high water (>3.4) this run changes character considerably and becomes a solid V+ that should be attempted only by those who are familiar with the run. The flush drowning risk is extreme. It is advisable to not run the lower gorge at high flows. Everything has been run up to about 4.6, a truly mind-bending sick level.

At all levels, keep in mind that this is a remote gorge with little-to-no chance of escape if things go wrong!
