This run can be done after a warmup on Castle Creek/ Slaughterhouse. A step up for the first two, Upper Fryingpan is a bit out of the way. I say, see how the first two go and if you're feeling good it is really worth the drive.

this is a SICK section. Qaulity class IV/V rapids for several miles. Look for wood as this is a remote rarely run gem that does collect wood each year and unless you know it was scouted top to bottom do your due diligence.
