Description
After a one mile hike from No Man's Trailhead, you arrive at the hiker's bridge over Clear Creek. It's possible to put in on creek right just upstream of the bridge but its easier to continue across the bridge, take the unmarked path to the left, and put in on the small boulder bar on creek left that's still within view of the bridge. The rapids begin right away and the first half mile is a warm-up for the rest of the run.
