Description
The Peru Hollow Bridge rapid features a technical boulder garden with multiple potential routes, requiring precise boat positioning and momentum to navigate successfully. Paddlers should be prepared for closely spaced rocks, potential pin hazards, and the need to make quick directional adjustments, with the primary line typically running center-right through a series of moderate hydraulics and potential undercut formations.
