| Little Salmon on the Little Salmon River |
This is a great class III-IV day run. Most of the run is continuous class II-III with a few ledges, blind corners and rock gardens. At high water, Ampitheater Hole becomes a class V ledge drop. It is a simple pour over into a circular hole just below Boulder Creek.
