Description
Put In rapid marks the entry point into Box Canyon's challenging whitewater section, characterized by a tight initial constriction that funnels flow between large boulder formations. Paddlers should carefully scout the rapid's entrance, as the initial line requires precise maneuvering to avoid potential pin spots and navigate the compressed water channel.
