I wouldn't drive 7hrs from Idaho to run this, as someone on Youtube apparently did, but the water is beautiful on a hot day. The rapid with the overhanging branch at the beginning of the only fun section definitely requires a Class III maneuver. I've since been on this stretch with a Class II boater and she swam there – not to mention the entirety of the subsequent rapids.
