Class V- After some busy water, huge boulders will be noticed along the right bank as the river turns left and the water downstream is kicked up into a frenzie at Heartbreak Hotel. Be ready to eddy out on the right for the scout and possible partial portage.

The first part of Heartbreak Hotel is full of rocks and holes in places you might wish they were not. Runs usually occur along the left side of the river, but more often the rapid is partially portaged on the right over some boulders.

Put back in as soon as you are comfortable to paddle the fun bottom part of the rapid, which is more open with options for routes.
