Bad

Here is a video that shows the bad river starting around 2:35 into the video. The canyon section has two rapids with a 3-4 foot ledge hole at the end of the first rapid that could be problematic with too much water. Once you drop into the canyon you are committed to running everything blind, because you can't really scout it from the top. Warning for people with children, there is a little swearing in the last ten second of the video. https://youtu.be/3gtpS9sdCkA

This is a really fun hike and huck section. I have run the section about 10 times and have not had any issues with the park (just make sure to buy a pass). I usaully take out after the last drop and hike back out. We hike about a mile into the red granite section via the park trail. Can run laps on a few fun class III-IV (all IV at high water). I have not run the first drop which is a fun looking slide due to old rebar that you can only see at low water. This run goes with a little bit of rain and the gauge is pretty accurate for being so far down stream. John LaGow
