Trip Report

ReporterRobert Fusilli

This is the biggest and steepest rapid on the entire run. There is several shelfy holes lined up one after another. You can surf each one of them. In this picture the water level is probably lower runnable. At higher levels, these holes can get pretty big and sticky. It would not be a bad idea to scout this when the water level is up at the very least to check for any wood, although this is usually not an issue. Just eddy out on the left before the horizon line and it is very easily scout-able from river left. If for whatever reason you don't get out before the drop begins, there is one last eddy you can catch on the far right but it definitely shrinks at higher levels.
