Ledge drops at end - Dup Crosson

Aug 23, 2023

Ran the ledges at the end of this run near the take-out in my packraft. Really great practice doing 6-foot drops! The curler wave after is what got me.

November 2017. Ran at about 850. Runnable. Only a few rips with a couple maybe class II runs through boulders. Good run for beginners. Nothing crazy.

Put in Kingfield on Sun 17th. 519 CFS. The only low spot was the first 300 yards from the put in. Good run for beginning river runners. Take out at Wire Bridge.
