Description
Past the LA Riot Rapid/Sheriden Mine area is a bit more than a half mile of fun and continuous rapids. The very last rapid is quite distinctive and provides a good way to recognize the take out.
After a half mile of really fun read and run rapids, the stream appears clogged. Large boulders tower over and block the right side. The left side looks like the only way but also looks junky and is junky. Drop carefully down the center then paddle right through a gap in the big boulders. The gap can't be seen from upstream and is only visible when you are even with it.
It is a fun and elegant finish to a fun section of paddling.
