Rio Grande

1.) It is possible to put in at Bear Crossing, the trail is steeper and you will miss the class III warm up section. I don't recommend it.

2.) NOC and Hell Hole, scout, portage left.

3.) Boulder Fan, scout left. Might be a good idea to set safety 2/3's of the way down on river left hand side by the obvious sieve. Possible to portage on the left but, hike is brutal and takes a lot of time.

4.) Big Arsenic portage right above the big boulder on the screen field. Easiest portage on the river if done correctly.

5.) Little Arsenic, ran this on river right mostly. Eddied out and portaged the tail end of the rapid as it really starts to sieve out near the end. It is possible to take out sometime after Little Arsenic on river left and follow a trail to the trailhead for the Little Arsenic / recommend take out.

6.) Wear long pants as Poison Ivy is everywhere!
