Description

Tom Neal Creek comes in from the right just after a road bridge.    This is a major tributary.   It has been reported to contribute from 1/3 the flow up to equal the flow of the main creek.  It probably contributes a lower percentage late in the season and more during the winter.  

Within a couple hundred yards after Tom Neal Creek, get ready for the gorge.   After you run the first class 4, eddy out right just above the next drop.  You can scout all 5 remaining drops in the gorge by climbing up the hillside 20' and following the faint trail. You could portage all the drops in the gorge on this same trail as well.
