Description
Hot Donna is a demanding Class V waterfall entrance at the start of the Saint Vrain Creek's Narrows section, characterized by a steep, technical drop with potential for serious hydraulic recirculation. Paddlers must navigate a tight, rocky approach with minimal margin for error, requiring precise boat positioning and expert-level skills to successfully execute the line while avoiding potentially hazardous holes and catching the critical downstream momentum.
