Slate - C) 'Lower Slate': Silver Road to Skanee Road (3.1 miles) (MI)
Just around the bend from the Slide Falls, a fine straightaway of ledges begins, dropping you deeper and deeper into the canyon. If you are not running Slate River Falls (or if it is unrunnable because of wood or ?), you have to decide how far down this staircase to go, as you will have to climb back up to the rim trail to hike out. Otherwise . . . enjoy!
