It is now the 3 big rapids (class IV and V) with names like Captains Folly, Can of Worms because of its four 90 degree bends in succession, and Sphincter Flexor. Subject to water levels, you may be able to “surf” in “fish eye” and then swim the next couple of minor rapids.

Pass several steam jets and fumaroles along the route to where the vehicles will collect us for the 40 km drive to Mt Suswa.
