Description
This run is a jewel. Tight and somewhat technical, it can collect wood from the steep banks so be on your toes. There is a "must scout" section visable from the road a short ways above the first bridge across the river. The river passes through a "S" turn and between several large boulders that tend to gather trees. It is easier to put in at the first bridge crossing and avoid that section completely. Take out is at the San Juan River Village.
