Description
An action packed run with a hike in.  The run is very continuous, and has sustained whitewater the whole way.  Watch for wood, and be ready for lots and lots of action.  There are no large drops, but the never ending barrage means focus is required the whole time. After reaching the confluence with the NF of Rough and Ready, the whitewater eases off and becomes open read and run down to the Redwood Highway and take out.  There is a low head dam in this section that can be portaged on the left.
