This is a really cool and beautiful section of river worth doing - especially if you like scenery, solitute, and challenge. It's incredibly continuous and has a good amount of wood requring Class IV-V skills. If there was no wood a confident Class IV boater would have a good time but being on red alert all the time takes a toll.
