Description
"Thanks For Shopping" is a technical Class III+ rapid featuring a series of closely spaced hydraulics and a narrow, boulder-strewn channel that demands precise boat positioning and quick maneuvering. The main line requires threading between two large midstream rocks with potential for powerful recirculating holes on either side, making a clean entry and momentum crucial for safe passage. Paddlers should scout this rapid from river left and be prepared for potential pin or wrap hazards in the constricted runout.
