Steep creeking, Class V. This is a great run to do laps on for park-and-run fun. It is set in a steep, twisting gorge and is best run when Lime Creek is flowing. Combine it with a Lime day or run it on your way to Durango from points north.Just above Mineral Creek Campground, scout the 1/2 mile gorge. Be careful because the runnable section is bookended by class VI sections. Look for a 20' falls visible from a large clearing as you drive up the road. This lies about 1/3 of the way into the run. After this comes Shish-Ka-Bob, a large slide with a possible hidden log (hence the name) on the left and a big pool on the right.

Below lies the Cauldron which is usually clean, but always warrants a decent scout, followed by a a few hundred yards of boatable water before the Class VI begins.
