Description
As you near the North Fork (you will be able to see the cut in the mountain where the North Fork comes in), you will come to a large congested boulder garden. This is "Landslide" or "Maze" but Blackwater Don Smith called this rapid Mumina Humida.. Wood is often a problem here, and picking the correct channel is crucial, as there are a lot of ugly sieves. The safe line is to enter through the hallway on river left, stay straight and scrape off a shallow drop. The river funnels down a little chute into another boulder garden. The right side lands on a sieve rockpile, but there are sweet boofs in the center and down the left. These drop you onto a long, shallow, bumpy fun slide, that used to have a big boulder sitting midstream that has rolled away.
