Description

What Dreams Are Made Of is located as the river bends sharply left then right entering a short but fierce looking gorge with tall vertical walls river left. Initial bolder garden moves allow an eddy and beach to be attained river right at the apex of the first bend and the next larger drops can be scouted from here. Having run these drops, eddy left to scout the remaining right turn rapid. At high water this sequence is very pushy with large holes and scouting becomes harder. At lower water the beach on the top right makes for adequate camping.
