Description

Take Out is a transition rapid marking the end of the Lower Taos Box section, characterized by a long, technical approach with scattered rocks and potential shallow spots that demand precise boat positioning. Paddlers should be prepared for potential debris and shifting channel conditions, and scout carefully to identify the cleanest line through the terminal features before committing to the descent.
