canyon. We encountered 3 log portages above Beaver Creek, with little stopping room. There's a
great camp river left a 1/4 mile above Beaver Creek. Shortly below Beaver is a nice gorge section
with lots of linked up III-IV moves and some wood. This canyon is solid IV at medium flows. There's
a mandatory portage (right) around a log at the beginning of this section, and the gorge is worth a
scout from the trail on river left, at least to check for wood. Once below the portage at the top
of the short canyon, the series of drops was clean, though there's wood around if you are off line
or swimming. Below the gorge, there's lots of wood but we didn't find any portages between the
gorge and Monumental bar. --Brian Vogt Edit
hot springs. Several cool rapids. Very enjoyable trip. We've done it 3 times over the last 10
years. Great Idaho wilderness experience for us PA boaters. Edit
