Bluebird day of boating both the upper and lower runs at a medium flow. Perhaps we did the first descent of the falls on Five Mile Creek, which comes into Clear Creek on rive left immediately above Egatrop (the portage).

There is a beautiful class II-III run that starts at Four mile river access (Slippery View) and runs to the confluence with the Klamath. The creek runs through an unbelievable gorge with waterfalls cascading into the creek. I ran it winter 02 zak95006@yahoo.com
