| Reporter | Craig Irwin |
Wild Plum to Downieville has a high alpine start, drops swiftly into tight rapids, blind sweeping class IV/V with a lead into the green moss covered rocky canyon reaches above Moss Canyon. Once into the steep and fast Moss Canyon you will meet up with Boss Moss, Floss Moss and Lower Moss Rapids, when they conclude you might wash up in Downieville.
This run is frequently underestimated at high water, where its a screaming run.
Rosassco Canyon lies below the confluence of the North Fork Yuba and the Downie River in Downieville.
