One submerged log over a blind ledge could really make for a bad day. Some of the holes at the bottom of the ledges could give some paddlers trouble as levels rise. There is a good recovery section at the bottom of Mind Bender and the river continues on at class III for approximately half a mile. The Foss River joins the Tye in this section and large boulders provide some fun and continuous rapids all the way down to the bridge across the Tye River. While you can take out a this bridge across the Tye River, you can continue on down another couple miles to the confluence where the Beckler joins the Tye and the two rivers become the South Fork Skykomish.
