Great run, even at lower flows (was ~850 CFS when we went, lower limit is 800). The most challenging rapid is at the beginning, you basically launch into a boulder garden with a somewhat tricky drop. Other than that, the only larger rapid was the Blue Hole (not sure why it's called that, as this isn't a hole). There were a few strainers to contend with, but not an excessive amount. This would be a good run to teach newer paddlers, provided they had support from someone more experienced.
