Description

Put In is the initial access point for this stretch of the Rio Chama, characterized by a relatively straightforward entry with minimal technical challenges. Paddlers should be aware of potential shallow rocky areas near the put-in and maintain situational awareness during the initial descent. While not a complex rapid, careful line selection and boat positioning are recommended to avoid potential obstacles.
