This is a very rough estimate. 475 is a great flow that feels high, fluffy, pushy, and fun.

Description
A cool trip through a unconfined canyon that opens onto a broad valley with cottonwood galleries bordering the creek.  Expect almost continuous class III+ water, but you should be a class IV paddler if you get on this run because of some old mining infrastructure in the river (pipes, cables, etc) and the occassional tree that makes the run a bit more consequential.  Go when the water is up.  Be ready for flows to double at the Boulder Creek confluence.
