Description

Put In rapid marks the starting point for this remote Alaskan river descent, featuring a relatively straightforward entry with scattered glacial debris and potential shallow sections that require careful route selection. Paddlers should anticipate potential submerged rocks and uneven riverbed conditions typical of glacier-fed rivers, and be prepared for cold water and rapidly changing conditions.
