The Runout

OtherClass IV

Description

The runout, starting below Stoner's Revenge, will have a few fun class 2-3 drops before hitting a large debris field once known as Colonel Dick's. Unless you have some flow you're about to spend a lot of time adding character to your boat. The first - and largest- sequence can be run down the center channel, snaking back left. It can get really manky here. Keep picking your way down the left and try to follow the water as the river starts to mellow.

You'll snake your way through a lot of Class 2 until you get to Blackwater Falls, a river-wide ledge best run right-of-center at med-low flows, and left at high water. Watch for an undercut on the right after the first drop. The hole can get gnarly at high water (think 12' or more).

The gradient picks up a bit after Blackwater, with a couple technical, small drops before Toilet Bowl.
