If you're still not warmed up at this point, go ahead and run the whole rapid over again without getting out to scout. This will give you a good idea of what to expect for the rest of the journey. Downstream you will experience rapids that are much larger and extremely continuous. If you weren't happy going through Four Falls, I don't recommend running the other major sections of this river.
This shot represents another soaker and the final drop toward the end of Four Falls.
