Tight Quarters

Description

Tight Quarters is a more natural and relatively mellow alternative to the 1st and 2nd Slide above 4 feet, But it dumps back into the main Fishladder directly above the Back Canyon where a ferry must be executed. It  frequently collects wood but otherwise is a pleasant warm up. T.Q. splits off to river right after the Bridge Channel but before the 1st slide. The entry drop can be run either side, then there is a pool where the channels briefly rejoin between slides 1+2. Continuing on through T.Q. there is a nice 3 foot ledge to boof.  Tight Quarters ends and rejoins the main fishladder channel below the Second Slide directly above the steep stuff. A tricky ferry must be made here to avoid washing into the Back Canyon.
