Description

This rapid is named for the fact that a small willow grows in the rock sculpture at the top of this rapid. A small boulder-pile leads to a river-center ramp. Immediately after the flake the river pushes toward a large boulder with a slot sieve just left of it. At release flows you can go right off the ramp (or boof the right rockabove it) into an eddy and then finish by going down the right chute behind the large boulder. Another line takes you straight off the flake and boofing off the left shoulder of the sieve-forming rock, just left of the boulder. This left line closes out around 600cfs.
