Description

Put-in marks the starting point for the intense Cherry Creek section, characterized by a challenging entry into a steep, technical run with immediate consequential whitewater. Paddlers must carefully navigate the initial drops and tight lines, maintaining precise boat control to set up for the subsequent complex sequence of rapids that define this notoriously difficult stretch of the Tuolumne River.
