Description

This is the junky rapid Below the 4th slide that rejoins with the Back Canyon. Very large trees tend to pile up here so keep eyes open. From the eddy below the 4th slide you'll have to pick your way through some rocks then scrape over a chunk of Concrete into a fun wavetrain with more fun eddies on the sides. These waves lead directly into the 5th slide
