Rodeo

Also called 'Left Turn' (which is confusing since Split Hair has a more pronounced left turn). The top has a similar layout and approach as 'Split Hair' but with a number of smaller rocks instead of one large one. The first half is easier but requires constant maneuvering around all the rocks. Half-way down where the river turns left the gradient increases, and the channel narrows to a left-of-center run with the large gradient forming a huge wave train. A large dynamic surf wave can be accessed from a micro eddy on river left about 3/4 of the way through the rapid. The wave train on the bottom of the rapid feels like riding a bucking bronco and gives the rapid its name. Watch out for a pinning rock in the middle of the channel at the very bottom.
