Description

The 'gorge' section runs for about a mile and is more narrow with a higher concentration of small drops and holes than the first three miles.

There are some places to get out and potentially scout, but most are read-and-run and the rapids flow into each other so it's hard to tell where one stops and another starts.

At 700 cfs it was mostly class II with a few class III moves and holes thrown in here and there.
