Description

Honestly this run is so full of wood right now that it would be impossible to do a full length descent. If you want to walk up to do some hike and huck, there is a riverside trail that follows this run from the Grizzly Creek Parking Lot. The best bang for your buck is probably about a half mile up. 3 miles up there are some huge unrunnable slides.
