Description

A brief pool separates this drop from the preceding drop (Half Dome). A line of rocks splits the flow into a number of pourovers. More rock downstream left tends to funnel more of the flow to river-right, through a short series of waves and holes, before it smooths out to a swift runout into a good pool.

After this feature, there is nearly three miles of flatwater (punctuated only by a few very minor riffles or rips) until the next significant features.
