Description

Float through a pleasant maze of huge boulders till you come to an intimidating horizon line.  Boulders block the channel, leaving a steep narrow chute on river right. Scout from river left. Run the middle of the tongue through the chute. Holes lie on both sides. The right side hole and eddy can potentially trap swimmers and gear. Rescue by rope can be necessary
