Trip Report

ReporterFrank Garrett

There is a boulder garden below the git-in that has a nice little class II drop into a reactionary on the left. The first RR tresle is visible as you approach a large island. Get out and scout the rapid under the bridge. The line is right down the middle, just follow the tounge. The next rapid that needs to be scouted forms a horizon line. There is a nice slide with a couple of ledges right below it. Best run on the right just left of the top hole. Below this there is a lot of flat water. Allow about 3 1/2 hours.
