Description

This is a pretty burley rapid.  The river turns right and then a quick left.  There is a hole where the river turns left.  Use the backwash of the hole to get your self into position to run the steep cascading slide.  The pool you land in is turbulent and surging with a recirculating eddy on river left.  After the pool is a smaller drop where most water goes toward the wall on the left.  It is roadside and much more impressive in person.
