Description
A run that feels like one long continuous rapid and a true class V classic. It typically runs on winter rains with the possibility of a short snowmelt season. The run starts in the Olympic National Forest before transitioning to lands managed by Washington State Department of Natural Resources. You need to be alert for wood hazards on this run and scout carefully on the first lap.
