Dezadeash River - The river shows many personalities on this section as is speeds up out of its lazy twisting corners to become a large swiftly flowing river. Riverbanks are soft with clay and sand and gravel is sparse. The views are of majestic snow capped peaks and plenty of wildlife around every corner. Beware of the moose as the river is narrow and they are sometimes in the middle!
