Description

As the previous low-grade rapids subside, the river takes a slight left, then a sharp (90-degree) left, then curves back to the right. A pair of large rocks (just right of center) signal the start of a fine (if short) zig-zag rapids. (It appears this may be fairly low-grade, maybe class I-II, though perhaps a bit technical with maneuvering.)
