Gorge-Us

4.8 miles from the put in you will come across a few more difficult and tightly spaced ledge drops of about 1 to 2 feet.  When you see the river take a sharp right up against the granite wall on river left take on on river right to scout and/or portage.  The rapid itself is only 30 yards long but drops steeply with three or more large hole / waves in the center flow.  You can sneak the right side but look out for shallow rocks that could push you back into the main flow.  The tail end of the rapid produces some nice symetrical surfing waves with a good access eddy on both sides.
