Description

Put In marks the entrance to the Upper Canyon of the Tsaina, characterized by a tight, boulder-choked start that immediately demands precise maneuvering. Paddlers must carefully navigate a series of closely spaced rocks and potential pin hazards, with limited recovery space between obstacles. Scout thoroughly if possible, as route-finding and boat positioning are critical in this technical section.
