Dan looking at the falls.
Hiked up stream a little from the put-in, need to run this fall on river left, river right is sticky at the bottom.
Evan running the rapid.
Evan and Dan scout the gem of this river, a beautiful granite gorge, made the run worth it.
Where did the river go?
Looking down river on one of the rapids.
The hike from the campground to the river takes just a few minutes, and goes along some huge trees. Dan in the lead, followed by Evan then me.
Pulling Dan's kayak out from the falls. This fall was sticky on river right, and pushes you into the corner, very difficult to get out once you were in there.
Taking a break, the river splits, stay to the right. (Evan and Dan)
Big rock caught by a tree. This is right were we took our break. Very interesting...
Evan at the end of the gouge run.
Some of the flat water we ran into. A nice break.
