The final bit of this run can probably be done without entering the big canyon above. The native village just east of telegraph canyon has access. While you are not allowed to park here, it may be possible to drag a boat down the road and jump in from the bridge. This would give a 15km or so run down to telgraph creek with only a few class III or so rapids (can't really say what they are. I went up in a jetboat. My access run down the Tuya was a bit of an epic and never made it past the big falls).

Alternatively coming down the big hill after the Tuya bridge one could cut across a bit of forest and rap down a short cliff to catch the runout of the lower canyon. If one looked, I also seem to remember a cut or two through the cliff, but rapping on a fixed line may be the easiest way to go.

That would make a great intermediate run with only one bad whilry edy on a side of a rapid.
