Description
Travertine Rapid features a series of small pourover rocks and moderate standing waves across the channel, requiring careful boat positioning and momentum. Paddlers should aim for the center-right line to avoid potential rocky obstructions and maintain a clean descent through the class II+ water. Standard river reading skills and attentive navigation are key to smoothly navigating this moderate rapid in the Colorado River's lower section.
