Usually associated with optimal Burns hole levels, this run is likely a park and play for most kayakers. This feature is not worth a big drive, rather, if you are en-route to other nearby attractions, Burns could dial in a session. Great 3-day trip for beginner packrafters (we hitchhiked) or intermediates who like solitude/scenery. Scene of a few rodeos and epic beat downs, Burns has potential for good surf, and is otherwise a Class II section.
Class III — intermediate, bigger waves
