Skykomish, N. Fork

Bear Creek Falls gets pretty rough at high flows, and becomes completely unrunable when the river at Index falls below ~700 cfs, due to piton rocks and potholes. Between Goblin Creek and Bear Creek Falls, the river is mostly Class II - III. Between Quartz Creek and Goblin Creek, the river drops down a spectacular gorge in almost constant Class V-VI whitewater, culminating in 90 foot Deer Falls (which can be seen by bushwhacking to the gorge rim at mile marker 18 on FR 63). Below the falls, the gorge extends for another 500 feet, with a few smaller ledges throughout, then ends just upstream from the mouth of Goblin Creek, where the river flows into the wider valley below.
