The logs shown in this picture have since been cleared and the drop is runnable.
Smooth Creamy Thigh is an absolutely sweet slide. Takeout here if you are choosing not to run the canyon section ending with Slate Falls.
Helge shows you what it's like to run the slide at the bottom of Banana Peel.
Lenny is running the last drop following the major drop in Kuckuk's Plunge. Far river right is best at most levels.
This is a very pretty drop consisting of several ledges. Point your boat straight...if anything gets in your way, turn.
