Description

This sequence starts easy and appears to quickly build. There are no major rocks visible on aerial views, so this is probably compression waves -- likely class II, perhaps building to class III.

For what it's worth, a double-track (dirt road) which appears to parallel the river just off the left shore from the first rapids to here, now veers away from the stream.
