Description

Put In is a transition point for entering the Gunnison River's challenging canyon section, marked by a potentially tricky entry that requires careful boat positioning and awareness of surrounding rock formations. Paddlers should scout the entry carefully and be prepared for potential hydraulic features that can develop depending on current water levels and seasonal flow conditions.
