Kerchoff #1 powerhouse

The powerhouse is on river left and presents an escape route if needed. It can add another 850 to 1700 cfs into the K1 to K2 section if it is running. See the pictures and descriptions on that page.   A PG&E road leads down to the powerhouse, but it is gated at the top.   From the river up to the road is steep and awkward but short.  From the powerhouse up to the gate on the road is almost a half mile with a couple hundred feet of elevation gain.

640 feet elevation.
