Description

The river takes a sharp left turn and drops into the gorge. The rapid starts out in a steep slide heading into the left wall of the gorge. Start at river center and move left to avoid a large hole river right to center. After the hole catch the micro eddy just as the river takes a hard right. There is a nice pool to recover after this drop.
