And main fork above Pony Bridge ...

So I was backpacking up on the the N Fork Quinault last weekend, and there are some cool looking canyons below Kitma Creek that I thought might be fin to get into. Anyone done that stretch? I guess Geoduck Creek to Kitma is class V, but from the stretches I saw, these ones looked no more than class III. There is a mention of this section on Amer Whitewater that said everything below Kitma is class II. Anyone done this section? I was thinking of taking my packraft up there ... would be a good day trip up to Elip Creek and back down to the Lake.

Also, it looks like Enchanted Valley to Pony Bridge is runable, and maybe not as difficult as   the lower class IV-V canyon.

There are also some cool little side creek sections  up in there that could be fun in a packraft.

Let me know if anyone has done this and/or is interested in hiking in and running these sections if that proves possible ... I am really not ready to go much beyond class III at this point but would like to find some more experienced paddlers who might want to explore these areas.

Awesome, thanks! That upper canyon looks beautiful for sure. So if it's your 2nd most beautiful canyon/creek. it begs the question: what's the 1st?
