We did the run as a packraft hike up from the Middle Fork confluence. We put in after crossing Cabin Creek on the trail maybe ~ 4 miles up? There is a wide valley and a meandering stream about there with some minor features to play on. There was surprisingly little wood, with 2 logjams we needed to walk around. Both were higher up on the run. We heard that there is a massive log jam upstream that is likely catching most of the wood. There were also a few channels lower down that had some wood blocking them, always with an alternative route. The run was busy and with consistent gradient throughout and few distinct features or eddies. It is a beautiful place and well worth the effort of the side trip.
