Description

Put In marks the beginning of the infamous Box section, featuring a challenging narrow entry with potential for hydraulic traps and limited maneuvering room. Paddlers must carefully navigate tight technical moves between closely spaced rocky walls, with precise boat positioning critical to avoiding potential pinning or entrapment hazards. The rapid demands expert-level skill and careful scouting, as the confined nature of the canyon amplifies the consequences of any navigation errors.
