Description
Put In rapid serves as the entry point for this section of the Colorado River, marking the start of the run below Shoshone Power Plant. The rapid offers a relatively straightforward entry into the river, with minimal technical challenges but potential for swift current and potential hydraulic features depending on water levels.
