Description

Put In marks the beginning of the legendary Stikine River descent, a remote and committing whitewater expedition through British Columbia's Grand Canyon. The rapid serves as an initial gauge of the river's serious character, with complex hydraulics, limited scouting opportunities, and minimal margin for error in a wilderness setting where rescue is extremely challenging.
