Moccasin Creek to West Glacier

Mile by mile

• 1 TunnelIII · RM 19.8 — Named for the railroad tunnel on river-left. Current accelerates into a series of waves and small holes that set the tone for the run. Good warm-up — clear lines, fun wave action.
• 2 BonecrusherIII · RM 19.4 — Begins where the river bends back to the left. Formed by boulders with a hole at the bottom. At higher flows: large waves and a few strong holes. Main current pushes hard into the center; straightforward lines with attentive boat placement. Packs more punch at high water.
• 3 WashboardII · RM 18.4 — Long series of continuous wave trains. Bouncy, splashy fun — read-and-run with few technical moves.
• 4 Big SqueezeIII · RM 18 — River passes between bedrock outcrops that narrow the channel, creating pushy water and large diagonal waves. Demands precise boat control to stay clear of surging laterals. Short but powerful — especially challenging at higher flows.
• 5 Screaming RightIII · RM 17.7 — Current flows over a ledge down the left, then accelerates to the right into a strong wave train and lateral features that live up to the name. Energetic and fast — stay centered and ready to punch through waves.
• 6 JawsIII-IV · RM 17.5 — Standout rapid with large breaking waves and a dynamic main hole. Lines vary with flow; strong surf potential at the right level. American Whitewater rates this Class IV at high water; at lower flows it washes out to easy Class II.
• 7 PinballIII-IV · RM 17.1 — True to its name — scattered boulders and bedrock walls create pushy currents. At most flows it's playful but requires attentive maneuvering; at lower flows it washes out to easy Class II. AW rates Pinball Class IV at high water.
• 8 RepeaterII · RM 16.6 — Gravel bar on the left, rock wall on the right. A string of similar-sized waves and holes one after another — consistent action over its length.
• 9 CBT RapidsII-III · RM 16.4 — Named for the Coal Bank Turnout on Highway 2. Mix of waves and diagonals that feel bigger than they look from shore. Surprisingly pushy at medium to high flows — quick reactions and momentum are key.
• 10 The NotchII-III · RM 16.2 — Funnels through a narrow slot, creating a strong constriction in the current. At higher flows: pushy, with powerful waves and turbulent eddies. One of the more technical features on the run.
• 11 PumphouseII · RM 15.3 — Boisterous finish with big waves and swift current — straightforward but splashy. Many groups stop near this rapid for lunch in summer.
