Palmer rapids really doesn't change too much unless level is 300 cms and greater
I think in the first drop a (surf??) wave forms ... and piano rock is covered. More channels at the top open up too. The section still remains at Class II/III.
At least it's not under a navigation ban.
And the lower mad section is good too except for the friggin long paddle to the rapids.
The Lower Mad is a beautiful, safe, class 2-3 river. The water is fairly deep, all the rapids are easily scouted and seperated by relativly calm water. Popular with beginner-intermediate river runners, it also has a great park-and-play spot at the first rapid at flows above 75 cms.

Any idea what Palmer rapid looks like at the current level?
