Description

Below the Loop take-out, the rapids continue with a sweeping wash under the railroad (now bike trail) bridge and then a series of small ledge rapids and open slots. Towards the bottom, there is a small rock cave in the rocks on the right and a fossil on a rock at the left at the very bottom. After "Lower Railroad" come two miles of "Doldrums", punctuated by "The Sisters" and ending at "Dimple" rapid.
