The Approaches to No.1 Rapid - Umko

umko approaches_google02

"The Approaches" are directly downstream of the Hela Hela bridge, as the river does a long bend to the right. It is a long rapid with some big boulders and holes to avoid. Its best to hug the inside line and pick your way down, avoiding the trouble.
