miles long and is a class II-V+ section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. If you hurry you can
run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so why not pack your sleeping bag too.
