Account This is the first rapid in the gorge. A bit low for this rapid but not the others... This is the first waterfall of i think 5. This waterfall looks runable, but it has to be done right because part of it falls on to a rocky ledge thing.... this is the rapid after the 1st waterfall... This is the 2nd waterfall. it is hard to tell but it falls into a pocket/corner. Need some sort of safety ready and take a good amount of time to scout. There are two more water falls 3rd and 4th that i didnt have time to take, but i did take a pick of hte 5th. the 3rd and 4th are huge.... This is an overhead shot after waterfall 4. This is the last rapid you should run!!!! This is the pool you should get out in. after this is a very nice section of rapids, but it leads into a very nice DEATH DROP! This is a nice 60 foot death drop onto rocks.. Ya i would walk here guys.. if you have a big sac you could run the rapids right above it and take out in a super small pool before going over the falls. i believe there have been two guys that have done such a run, but hey i wouldnt!
