Description
Blind Falls is a Class II rapid characterized by a series of ledge drops and tight boulder gardens requiring precise navigation. Paddlers should be prepared to maneuver quickly between rocks and read the water in real-time, with the main channel typically running center-right and potential for hydraulic features at lower water levels. Scout from river right if water levels are uncertain, as the rapid can become more technical and consequential during fluctuating flows.
