River Description
Callahan is a steep technical Class V adventure in a walled-in canyon with blue water and light
colored rock. Be careful, it is easy to get boxed into the canyons. It is recommended
that would be paddlers first hike up the historic trail that begins on the main road just
downstream of the heart of the canyon at a road pull out, and conduct extensive scouting
throughout the run. The lower canyon has a risky must-run Class V rapid in it. The
upper and lower canyons both have multiple places where a poorly placed log or log jam could make
portage and egress virtually impossible. This is one of the most committing runs in the
region, and may at times be physically impassable.
