Description
The Rapids Sequence presents a challenging stretch with multiple technical drops and tight boulder-choked channels that demand precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. Paddlers should anticipate significant gradient changes, potential pin hazards among large mid-stream rocks, and the need for careful route selection through narrow passages that can quickly become obstructed during varying water levels.
