We chose not to attempt this section on this day. The drops flowed quickly from one to the other without recovery pools. We put in lower and enjoyed some pushy boulder gardens instead.

This photo is taken looking upstream from the bridge at the end of The Slides and the start of The Gorgette. The rock with a saddle in it in the bottom left of the photo is a visual gauge. This level is Low, slides were fun, gorgette would have been good with mank above and below, and I'm told the grottos would have been lowish mank at this level. When a little water is trying to go through the saddle it's medium and the grottos are good, slides are getting bigger but still fun, and the gorgette drop itself starts showing some holes. When the rock is making a hole, guess...

This is a photo from the bridge at a high level.

This is the first slide you come to immediately following a pool after running an 8-ish foot sloping ledge. This is taken at low water.

After the first slide there's some fun ledges for a few hundred yards, then this drop. The right side is undercut and cracked ribs and scary trips under rocks have resulted from failures to make the move back left from the eddy above the undercut.
