See Banks and Eckardt, Colorado Rivers & Creeks II, which warns of a nasty rock weir below Somerset, as well as more hazards. Make sure you scout the takeout before your run.
Fun rolling wave trains during the first few miles. At Somerset, the action picks up. A few piles of rock, and encroachment of industry, have created some excellent III+ whitewater. After Somerset, the pace cools down again. If you have scouted your takeout during the shuttle, avoiding the rock weir is no problem.
