The Old Race Grounds is one of the few places where BLM land meets the river and the road in this canyon. It is a good put in to shorten the run if you don’t have as much time or you don’t feel comfortable with the tenuous access above. Putting on here still gives you 4 ½ to 5 miles of the run and honestly the last 5 miles are the most beautiful and fun.

I’m working on getting the history of the old slalom race and will post more about it once I do, so stay tuned.
