Salmon River (Cal) - Nordheimer

Description

This 6 mile stretch of river is often referred to as one of the best sections of class IV whitewater in the country and rightfully so.  Far from the hustle and bustle of the overpopulated metropolises of California, the waters in this area flow crystal clear through pristine river valleys. The whitewater through this stretch is of the finest quality with difficulty varying significantly with water level.  At normal flows the run is class IV, punctuated by a few larger rapids.
