Thank you AW and SMUD for the releases this year - at 1000 cfs, this section of river is an absolute classic. Consistent gradient, fun rapids, and challening moves. I agree with most assessments of this river - a Chamberlain type IV boater might feel a bit overwhelmed in here (as I was last year), but any IV+ to V comfortable boater will have a blast.
