This exceptionally scenic and unspoiled area demonstrates characteristics that make it an appropriate addition to the National Wilderness Preservation System. Plateaus are divided by deep, winding river canyons and provide habitats for sensitive species including bighorn sheep, redband trout, bobcat and river otter. The river offers technical rapids for those looking for whitewater excitement, including class III (Medium), class IV (Difficult), class V (Expert) rapids. There are also calmer sections for a leisurely day on the river.
