A really nice 5km (ish) canyon located northeast of Prince George. Great character to the whitewater.
The McGregor Canyon is a beautiful section of whitewater located a decent way off of the beaten path. With easy access to the put in, and presumed easy access to a takeout, (located a few km of flatwater downstream of where the 2 groups *known* to have done the run took out) the McGregor is well worth doing.
*quite possibly someone has done run it that I don't know about*
Classic big water canyon style rapids, only 1 mandatory portage which is easy at river level, beautiful dark canyon walls, far enough out there to feel like a real adventure. This would make a great warm up run for anyone on their way north for some multi-days.
