Description

The river enters a narrower canyon with orange cliffs.  The speed picks up, but the rapids are only class 1 or 2.  Then the cliffs change to a dark color and really good class 3 rapids start.  There can be numerous rocks and pour overs to avoid, but usually plenty of room to do so.  The rapids continue for quite a ways.
