River Description

This run is downhill all the way, fast and furious. It alternates between continuous small rapids and steep, blind boulder drops. Most of the boulder drops can be boat scouted. Make sure you keep an eye out for downed trees that frequent this stretch of stream. Most of all, enjoy!
