Hike as far as you want upstream on a good trail and paddle back out to your vehicle. Scout for wood from the trail and while on the water. Paddlers should expect Class IV rapids depending on the level.
Ben Clack shared:
The upper run is very much worth your while. An old "I-III" rating only applies to the
lower reaches several miles below the campground. Hike in above campground about 3 miles or so to
about 1/4mile past the bridge. You will be rewarded with several class IV drops, and one V-,
depending on flows of course. Flows above 650 or so are OK, but I prefer around 900 or so for a
creeky feel, big water feel anything above 1200 or so. WATCH FOR WOOD, also be aware this is
Grizzly country.

it being a problem above 3000 cfs. Keep your eyes peeled(there is a sneak route around the left
side.) There is a route through everything (except for a riverwide strainer below 6 pin) but lots
of sketchy wood. Edit
about 1/4 mile below six pin... hard to see comming up, but eddy out on left. 2200 CFS... great
ride! Edit
4-miles past the trailhead (which still has snow slides blocking the last 1/2 mile of the road
leading to the trailhead). True, there is wood scattered about, but nothing out of the ordinary for
this run. The lines are still clear--just don't swim! I saw big cat tracks off the beaten path. Edit
five avalanches piled up sixty foot trees accross the river and along the banks.Still run able and
lots of fun but danger factor increased by ten. Edit
that only applies to the lower reaches several miles below the campground. Hike in above campground
about 3miles or so to about a 1/4mile past the bridge. You will be rewarded with several class IV
drops, and one V-, depending on flows of course. Flows above 650 or so are OK, but I prefer around
900 or so for a creeky feel, big water feel anything above 1200 or so. WATCH FOR WOOD, also be
aware this is Grizzly country.
