Description

These two bridges, one for the highway and one for the railroad, mark a transition into the difficult rapids of Poe Canyon.   Above the bridges is a few easier rapids and flat water.  Several class 4 rapids await immediately below the bridges.  The action is pretty steady from there on down.

 

The mileage and map locations for the rapids below are approximations based on the aerial photo map view.  The order of the rapids are correct.
