Description

Put In is the initial access point for the Sanctuary River run, marking the beginning of a remote and challenging wilderness descent. Limited beta exists for this rapid due to the infrequent and highly technical nature of the run, with paddlers needing to be prepared for potential unscoutable and unportageable sections in the rugged Denali backcountry.
