I scouted the last two creeks I'm going to look at this year. The first was a real dud, no bedrock and lots of brush, even though it had a gradient of 100 feet per mile. I had high hopes for the second creek to have a lot of paddling potential, but it didn't turn out that way. The creek cuts through a tall rocky ridge as it drains a bowl shaped area ringed by mountains. There was essentially only ONE rapid of any significance; the rest were gravel shoals.

It's Rainy Creek, north of Sims. I think there are two Rainy Creeks in that area; this is the westernmost one. You can drive to the falls.
