Gorge Entrance

Below the highway bridge the creek is shallow and rocky for almost 1/2 mile.   A couple rapids are long and fairly steep.   The gorge entrance rapid is long shallow, rocky and drops very steeply at the end.   The current funnels down in the final steep drop, then suddenly hits bedrock at a narrow slot between a large boulder on the left and the wall on the right.   The drop aims straight into the boulder, but it seems to have a good cushion and kicks boats to the right.

The little gorge is very pretty and relatively easy till the last two drops.
