Description

(AKA "The Sisters;' AKA "No Name" -- sometimes seen on older rafting guidemaps.) A usually easy rapid which can be run down a main channel that runs between a series of rocks which are easily avoided. Three of those rocks and the eddies behind them became named the "Three Sisters" for a series of three moves for paddlers looking for a challenge after the "Doldrums" and before "Dimple." But some paddlers now find more than three moves (first four and now up to seven) and the rapid name seems to be simplifying to just "The Sisters."
