| Honeymooner on the Clarks Fork Yellowstone River |
The run starts out mellow, but picks up intensity as it transitions into the canyon. The first drop is Sinkhole, a right slot entry with a must move left to avoid the swirling sieve. Not far after is Ralph's, a river wide pourover; scout left. A few mellower drops lead to Big Nasty. Be left as the river twists right, if you want to scout or portage. Trixie, a powerful ledge pourover is next with some fast boulder garden action that leads into Crandall Creek rapid. Stay to the right. Take out on river right about a 1/4 mile downstream.
