Elkhorn Creek

We parked on a ridge road once there was access to the south, down towards the creek. We put in far above Rackley, after hiking down ~1700 vertical feet over about a half mile. The hiking started very steep, but gradually mellowed and we encountered no cliffs.
This made for a 4-4.5 mile run.
Flow on the LNS @ Mehama was 4-5,000 for the duration of our run.
At the put-in, this felt like the low side of medium, but after the major confluences (around the start of the crux section), it felt like the high side of medium.
Character was continuous, with available eddies. Stay sharp for wood, of course. The paddling was surprisingly full-bladed and fun. A noticeably steeper cascade with a narrow line through pitons, shallow LZs and a nasty corner pocket (we walked) marks the beginning of the crux section. The crux consists of about 10 big drops. Mostly they go; scout and portage judiciously. We walked 3 of them, including Crunch 'N Munch, which is toward the end of the crux.
All in all, there was a lot of wood to contend with, but it was mostly manageable. The continuous in-between and boogie water was also mostly fairly high quality and in the III-IV range. At the end of the run, it felt like a looong day of paddling. We agreed that if access was better this would be regarded as a classic.
Class V for sure.
