Picture of the end of the rapid from the recovery pool

View looking down river from the pool just below Wake-up Call. The creek runs through a series of rapids and ledges for almost half mile from this point. There are eddies throughout and at least one good side surf hole. This long section of the whitewater ends with a sharp turn toward river right along massive rocks on river left. There is rock in the runout at the very bottom that forms a hole at higher levels.
Photo was taken from an eddy below the rapid. In the photo left side one can see the strainer blocking the creek's main channel on river right.
Looking upstream at strainer that is blocking on the main channel (river right) on the upper section of Sugar Creek.
