The Mining Claim Put-in.;
"Cut The Deck" is the first Class 5 Rapid from the mining claim put in.
"Double Down" opens up two drops, past two rocks.
"Roulette" will take you if you let it. Beware!
"A Pair of Kings" Two 6 foot drops. One on top of another.
And then it's time to "Ante-Up"
"Poker Falls" introduces the crux of the entire run. Scout on the right. This rapid got its name after Ron Rogers on the first descente team stepped on a fire poker and cut his foot during the scout. The rapid was dubbed Poker Falls and the subsequent names from the gamming industry followed.
"Full House" is packed with a pair of this and three of you know what!. Pay attention. The fun line is on the left. A wet exit here may result in different view of the waterfall just down stream.
"Black Jack Falls" (21') brings the big stuff to a close. Look for easy class 5 for the remaining 1.5 miles of continuous creekin. This lower section is a good warm up if you'd like to test your "creekin skills" out before attempting the big drops above.
