From the put-in to Magic Carpet Ride, it is "choose your own adventure." MCR is the first rapid below the put-in. It offers many options, all of which are viable. At higher flows, it can be run either right or middle. The right tends to be meaty and offers a nice boof at the bottom instead of the slide. At lower flows, there is an actual mossy rock slide that you run into the eddy. After this rapid, you have a wave train into one of the largest rapids on this section, PBJ.
