Description

EXTREME CAUTION!!! This falls (varyingly reported as anywhere from 12' to 20' tall) all lands very shallow with water sheeting across rocks. Vertical canyon walls make portaging exceedingly difficult. Two lead-in ledges and sliding bedrock make it easy to be swept into and over the larger falls! Do not put-in nor boat beyond CTH.A without first scouting (on foot) the whole falls sequence to carefully assess your skills to handle the drops, flows, eddies, and portage at this falls.
