This was my first time in the Gorge, and it was a beautiful day. I was in my packraft, and we had 1 IK and 2 hardshell kayaks. We put in on river left just below the falls, walking down the steep stairs from the building next to the bridge.

Paradise Ledge has a big log above it, but there's ample room to get around it on river right. Candice showed us the petroglyphs on river left at the beginning of Flaming Geyser SP.
