Description

A picturesque ledge drop on a right hand bend. Depending on flow, different line options are available. Although not visible from the trail, this rapid can be easily scouted from the hike-in by venturing off the trail in the upriver direction at the dispersed camp sites about three miles from the trailhead--this also makes a nice break on the hike.
