Run description:
This run is yet to be fully paddled out to the ocean. The previous attempt saw the paddlers hiking out at about 200 meters from the ocean. The sections they paddled had amazing, overhanging canyons, beautiful scenery, and fantastic whitewater, all within an hour drive from Victoria. Almost everything is scout-able from river level, with the exception of one drop in the middle of the run which is about a 3 meter drop into a huge, deep pool. Walking out of this run in most sections would not be fun. More description coming soon to this section.
