The "River Runners Guide to Utah" saya that 4 feet is enough to run this section but that 5.5 is much better. The river was running 5.3 when we put on, which I would say is about the limit for floating it. The river has lots of rocky drops that you just bump and grind down at this level. Lots of manouvering around boulders. I actually had to walk three of the rapids because there was just not enough water to float me and my boat. Another foot of water would have made things a lot smoother.
This stretch of river has some great rock art along it one is a life sized bighorn several hundred feet up the canyon walls that you can see from the river.
