Description
The Hills Have Eyes is a complex rapid characterized by a technical boulder garden requiring precise boat positioning and route selection. Paddlers must navigate a series of closely spaced rocks and potentially powerful hydraulics, with multiple potential lines that demand careful scouting and skillful maneuvering. Successful passage requires advanced reading of water features and the ability to make quick, decisive movements to avoid potential pin or entrapment hazards.
