Cottonmouth

Cottonmouth is a long rapid that cannot be fully scouted and that also can't be portaged. It's named for the dry mouth you'll get when you realize you can't see all of the big holes in the drop and that you also can't portage due to vertical canyon walls. Scout what you can from the top, stay upright, and punch the big holes you can't quite see in the middle and bottom. There's a long, slow pool at the bottom. Slippery View River Access is a couple minute paddle out from the bottom of Cottonmouth.
