Description

The kissing rocks are not much of a rapid but worth noting because they do pose a potential pin hazard.  A quick turn is required to maneuver between these two massive boulders.
Update: as of 7/16/13, the wood on river left has been removed allowing passage around rather than through the kissing rocks, if you so please.
