Easy to scout That Dam Rapid from the Elwha Dam Trailhead and a 15 minute walk down the Lower Dam Rd. The rapid is a fairly manageable class IV, although the length and possibility of scrap metal lying beneath increase the consequence. Ran it at ~1250 @McDonald Bridge and saw one piece of metal that could cause problems in the second half. The rest of the run is was very clean class II.
