Lolo Creek

I just changed the rating on this stretch from III-IV to IV+.

Lolo Creek is long and remote. Stories of hike outs range from daunting to epic. Most of the rapids are not super hard, but they will definitely be a serious test to anyone who is not super comfortable running continuous and sometimes blind class IV boulder drops.

In addition, portaging these rapids is difficult. You should probably plan on running just about everything except for the Landslide Rapid (an easy portage...but the drop is also cleaning up lately). While Zig Zag and Big Schmidt are definitely portageable, portaging these two rapids could potentially add an hour to an already long day.

That said, this is an awesome run that should put a smile on the face of all but the most jaded gnarstar.
