The Upper Gauley...it's big, steep, challenging, and no place to find out that you're afraid of whitewater. In this one day trip, you'll face the "Monster Five" class V+ rapids: Insignificant, Pillow Rock, Lost Paddle, Iron Ring, Sweets Falls, and many more...
I was cracking up reading this description because the upper gauley at the age of 25 I took on alone like a total dumbass in a 2-man blowup raft. I nearly drowned on Insignificant and departed from the river along the shore just before Pillow Rock! I must agree, it is NOT the place to find out you are afraid of whitewater! ROFL
