Mickey Mouse ( Reach 545) . . . Golden Run ( Reach 544)

The map says it all. These runs are close enough to the Lochsa to make a nice day trip. The river between these runs is mellow class II with some easy class III, all visible from the road and easily portaged.

When the gauge rock developes a hole you wouldn't want to get into or when it is washed out . . . class V

When the hole is ok or the the rock is just awash . . . great class IV

When the rock is showing . . . boney
