Gates

Rapid - The Gates. III+ Scout this from the road, it is just
upstream from the takeout. Above the rapid look for a long pool with
large boulders in midstream. Eddy out on river left to scout from bank.
The Gates has a distinct ledge that angles from midstream to river
right. The left run (The Gates) enters high on river left and makes a
sharp right turn to avoid bow deflecting rocks bordering a narrow
channel. A more challenging run on river right has a sharp drop into a
large partially submerged rock at medium flows. There is potential to
get pinned with this route. At high flows it sets up a large hydraulic
adding to the excitement. You can regroup below the rapid at small
riffles and eddies.
