Description
Put In rapid marks the entry point to this section of the North Fork Tuolumne, featuring an initial technical boulder garden that demands precise maneuvering between large rocks and potential pinning hazards. Paddlers should scout carefully and select a clean line that avoids the most obstructed channels, maintaining momentum through the initial drop and watching for potential mid-stream obstacles.
