Description: Beautiful run through hemlock and rhododendron. There are frequent rapids, formed by boulders and ledges, getting long towards the end. Fairly clear water. Possible could start one bridge higher, but road has no winter maintenance. [Reported 1994]
Difficulties: Fair number of fallen trees, but no carries. Some cables and gas pipes.
