When I first hit the canyon there was a ROTC group practicing rappelling off of the cliff while I geared up and dropped into the muddy creek. The rock was SO slippery in the beginning and the water was too muddy to see thru it so I preferred to stick to the creek and wade thru it whenever possible... 
After many pools and small down climbs, I eventually reached the first rappel down a 15ft falls and avoided a tricky downclimb. A little further down canyon and you reach the 35ft falls with a solid anchor up on left side for a 45ft rappel into a huge swimmer which had me wondering if my 100ft rope would be enough. 
A little further down, my rappel #3 was thru a 20ft waterfall into another swimmer with loads of slippery creek to navigate thru a cool section of the narrows. 
Rappel #4 was a 40-footer on the left side of a slick 30ft falls into an even sweeter box canyon. Quite a few pools to wade thru in the box but it ends all too quickly with the final sweet rappel #5 being a 15ft drop behind the falls.
