Description
See the description in Bill Tuthill's excellent California Creekin. Bill says, "To my knowledge this is the only runnable nine mile rapid in California." He cautions that it's not a classic run, because it's not exactly a wilderness run. Check out his site, and the pictures therein, and you'll see that it's well worth doing.
