There is no way this creek is a class 4+ run, and I am no easy grader. Maybe just this section below the 160 bridge to the 20 footer, but this creek has plenty class 5++ to offer above the 160 bridge starting from the first small pond a few miles down from the ski resort in the Wolf Creek pass. There even seems to be a few unrunnable box canyon falls inbetween the resort and the 160 bridge. When I scouted this run it was hard to even get close to them, but I would estimate their hieght to be around 50 ft. plus easly. There is also some less difficult but still class 5 calaber whitewater below the 'second falls'. This run continous with good gradient and plenty more vertical all the way down to the valley below; which I believe is mostly private property.

This is the next fall directly below 'second falls'. Ruffly 20 ft. in hieght(though it is hard to tell from the top of the gorge). There is a big cave on the right that alot of water washes into during higher, more runnable flows. There is plenty of class 5 boogy that follows below.

Maybe good for Ice climbing?

This is the second 20ft. spout. Fun drop, bad hike out after this. -Cody Howard
