River Description

If you start up High in the boulder area it is without a doubt a class 4+ run in big water. Normally putting in maybe just 40 yards up above where the rock slides end and the small boulder area starts is a typical fun run. Careful of the pin potential but typically pins are not very concerning as the flows generally don't create much of a threat that you can't jump out and reset.

Wood has been cleaned out but the steep walls mean that anything that falls in will end up in the very narrow boating line. As you walk in scope it all for wood. There are two boofs that are created by log jambs and pieces of a huge tree cut up that couldn't be pulled out of the the creek the seem fairly stable but need to be checked each time. Currently there is a downed tree with a load of big vines in it that hand down into the boating line.  I've cut about 12 vines out in Feb/2008.  Look in the gallery for a pic of the vine hazard. In March there were reports of more vine balls and loops in the boating line just before the last big drop (8 ft?).
