Slide

Slide is a technical Class IV rapid with a narrow, boulder-strewn channel that demands precise maneuvering through a series of powerful hydraulics and tight turns. Paddlers must navigate a complex entry with a mandatory move to avoid a potentially lethal undercut rock on river right, followed by a steep descent through consecutive holes that can easily flip or trap boats. Scouting is highly recommended, as the rapid's gradient and rock placement create significant hazards that require expert-level boat control and route selection.
