It's too true.
Hire a guide. I didn't and we nearly died.

Hatchery to Maxfield at 4 boards first time. It was, lets say, exciting

Wear your life jacket. Be prepared. If you crack up, its a long walk to anywhere.

Maxfield to WD is pretty basic, EXCEPT for the Shuwah Rapid. Not terrible, but you need to be very aware.
