This is a short section on a very steep creek with drops, rapids and other class V fun. Scout and be aware of what you are running. Above and below this section is class VI or unrunnable water.
Use the gauge in Silverton as a general guide. It's the only gauge out there that will give you a feel for the runoff other than a visual.
