Description

A small gravel pull-off allows scouting this drop as you run your shuttle. Actually, many folks will just use this as their put-in, skipping  a mostly uneventful 1.7 miles of river.

This is a manky rapid with several potential pin spots. The greatest danger here is failing to get ashore in the long pool below, lest you drift into the next rapid.
