Description

Immediately after the short pool below Colton Falls. You can run the far left slots (pourovers are sticky above 800cfs), boof the middle ledges or run the far right "S channel" (easiest option). Scout the left slots from the left bank, right channel from the right bank, but the middle can only be scouted from below the drop. (Note: this is one of the few drops that you can't use the trail network to scout from, so scramble along river's edge after Colton Falls.)
