Description
Cat's Eyes Rapid is a relatively mild Class I rapid in Cataract Canyon, characterized by scattered rock formations creating small obstacles and potential route choices. Paddlers should carefully navigate between the namesake rock formations, which can create minor hydraulic features during different water levels, though the rapid generally presents minimal technical challenge for experienced boaters.
