Description

This is a straightforward rapid but Helicopter Eddy on river left has a powerful eddy fence that can be difficult to punch through if you end up there. It's easy to pull right and avoid the eddy but you need to pay attention, which can be particularly important if your most experienced rowers have left to do the Tapeats to Deer Creek Hike and left the boats in the hands of less experienced rowers.
