Description
Bass Rapid presents a technical Class II+ challenge with multiple potential routes through a series of staggered waves and boulder gardens. Paddlers should scout from river right to identify the best line, watching for mid-rapid rocks and potential hydraulics that can develop at different water levels. Precise boat positioning and reading water is crucial to successfully navigating this quick, dynamic stretch of the Colorado River.
