Trip Report

ReporterNick Sinderson

This run is in the middle of nowhere...if you find yourself here you're either lost or you're going boating. I hope it's the latter because this is a very good and very scenic class 3/4 run. I would add the 3 or so miles of the next run and get out at Coal Creek. That way your getting in the best class 4 stuff and avoiding the dangerous class 5 below Coal Creek. Just over a low divide to the west (I have never driven this road, so I can vouch for it's condition) is the Elk River another scenic and fun class 3/4 river. I've often thought that combining the two would make for a great weekend of class 3/4 boating and camping.
