Description
Not much of a rapid really, but a very scenic spot: Big Creek is pouring in from left over a large drop and around the boulders right is Holcomb Creek. Savor the scene just before entering Igor. This is a hike-out spot along Holcomb to the 3-Forks trail to FS 86-B if ever needed - like if Overflow flashes up to 4.5 ft, which has happened. The trail continues on the river left side past Big Creek up the ridge to a dead-ended gravel road "Three Forks Road" coming off Hwy 28.
