Description

One of the harder must-run rapids. You can scout Upper Zigzag from river right. Stay away from the wall along river left and plan out your course to get to the pool that's visible at the bottom of the drop. Once you make your way safely to the pool at the base of Upper Zigzag grab the eddy on river left and hop out for a scout of Lower Zigzag.
