Description

Rapids at river mile 36.5 features a technical boulder garden with multiple potential routes, requiring precise boat positioning and strong maneuvering skills. The rapid contains several Class III hydraulics and tight passages between large rocks, with the primary line running center-right but demanding careful scouting to identify the cleanest path through the obstacles.
