This is possibly the best know run in North America and for good reason. I tried to quickly capture some photos without letting the group pass me by. The Upper Gauley has five class V rapids, but these were rated class V back in the day of 15ft fiberglass boats and old skateboarding helmets. You can see pillow rock in one of the photos, this rock used to be avoided at all costs, now the main line is to splat your boat against it. The other rapid is called sweets falls and as you can see, the main line is avoided in order to do a rock-spin.
Soon the leaves will be changing and the river will be one of the most beautiful places on earth.
