Description
This run progresses from casual class II water to class V as you enter into where the canyon narrows. Plan on scouting most everything as you get in the canyon due to some drops that would not be wise to run blindly.
This is a desert river and you will want to catch this run when spring melt happens. The run window generally will be short.
Rapids
No rapids added yet.
