Interesting that Sheep Crossing looks more tame even though it's further downstream - up by Hemlock Crossing the river is in more of a narrow and wild canyon (as suggested by mkbgdns above). Though looking at satellite views you can see right below Hemlock Crossing the river does get wide for a bit and have some islands - so it has potential to be crossable there (while acknowledging that river crossings can be dangerous)
Thanks everyone!

IIRC, 2015 snowpack was at a historic low, like hundreds of years low.

hope you found a crossing. Look for lower-gradient areas on the topo map and those will often have an easier crossing just because the water is moving more slowly and spreads out over the floodplain.
