Where does this route start and where does it end? does it include the canyon? Says E Jackson

The Hogsback Road to Cone Grove Road section of Antelope Creek in Tehama County is 20 miles long and has been rated as a class III-IV section by American Whitewater. The put-in location is a short drive from Red Bluff, as you can see on the road map further down. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whitewater paddling here in the Northern Sierra Nevada is a great
    experience. Getting your paddling muscles activated and just being out on the river for a while are sure to keep you coming back for more. There's camping available near Antelope Creek. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in California is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're
visiting here do keep in mind that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, this area has a pretty small number of paddling spots. You can enjoy this stretch more if you take your time, so pack your sleeping bag. The wonderful California scenery and the playfulness of the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. Antelope Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Hogsback Road to Cone Grove Road stretch is the only one.
