Description
This stretch of the Gunnison River near Almont lacks a defined named rapid, with varied water conditions dependent on seasonal flow and runoff. Paddlers should expect a mix of Class I-II water with potential boulder gardens and braided channels, requiring careful navigation and awareness of changing water levels and potential strainers.
