Ran this in kayaks with my daughter. Lots of strainers in the upper section before it canyons up, and a fair number after it opens up above Redrock. No strainers of note in the canyon. Took out at Redrock bridge.
There are sections with a lot of rock walls and limited ability to get out.
Scouted two rapids due to limited visibility, everything else we could see and just ran.
