I agree; The Tye is very different in its upper reaches (III-IV) than after it breaks out into the valley (I-II). Corbett's 'VA Whitewater' lists this entire river as a single reach, but most folks do consider the upper Tye a separate run from the lower. I define the upper as Evergreen Church (on the NF Tye) to the swinging bridge by the Appalachian Trail parking lot and trail access along Rt 56 (3.5 mi total), although I have heard of some people defining the upper Tye as Evergreen Church to Tyro (6 mi total). Either way, this site should be modified to show the Tye as multiple runs.
