Joe Wright is a short tight run with two challenging class V drops both scoutable by road, and a bunch of continuous technical class IV.

Joe Wright is very continuous, with only two major rapids. Eddies are very few and far between, catch them if you can, you'll need a break.

To scout, pull off on the National Forest Information pullout.
