Description
Keystone Falls is a technical Class V rapid with a steep, boulder-choked descent requiring precise maneuvering through multiple tight channels and powerful hydraulics. Paddlers must navigate a complex series of drops and ledges, with significant consequences for missed lines and a high risk of pin or entrapment in the lower section's constricted slots. Advanced boat control, quick decision-making, and thorough scouting are essential for safely running this challenging rapid.
