River Description
Upper Rattlesnake Creek is a challenging adventure that has been tackled by only a few groups. The run is characterized by a long hike in, a Class IV gorge and a class V gorge above Franklin Bridge, followed by several miles of braided beaverdams (ie portage-fest), and finally several miles of fast Class II/III. The scenery and wildlife viewing are incredible, as is the physical challenge.
