River Description
'Narrow enough at the top to throw a rock across and at the bottom not much wider than a boat length and often undercut, the Kuskulana Gorge is visually spectacular from the air and from the rim, and incredibly so from far down inside, in a kayak...' -Andy Embick from ' Fast and Cold: A guide to Alaska Whitewater.'
