Description

About one mile above Glacier Rim you will encounter The Ledge where a pour-over extends from the right bank to the middle of the river (or farther at some levels). This is a dangerous flipper but easy to avoid if staying alert to downstream obstacles. Stay to river left and look it over. It can be impressive.
