Description

Pistol Creek Rapids (Class IV). Mile 21.4. A tight S turn that is generally run left to avoid the rocks and hole jutting from the right bank. The best line can change with flow so this is a good one to scout on the right if you are unfamiliar with the rapid. A scouting trail on river right leads to an outcrop offering a birdseye view and the various approaches.
