Approximately 15 minutes into the run you pass through a mellow canyon section, after this point you are quite committed to the run, opting out will more or less involve hiking over or around Mt Schuey. // The river continues through gravel beds with some grade III boulder gardens and a couple more nice canyon sections including a double drop that ranges from grade IV- to V depending on flow, followed by more gravel beds and boulder gardens, and a grade III/III+ drop a bit closer to the takeout. // The scenery is stunning and the hike out isn't nearly as bad as the hike in plus you can soak in the hot springs when you pick up your vehicle.
