Triplet Falls first drop


Description: The map (Dinosaur National Monument Rivermaps) marks a Class III, Harp Falls, before Triplet Falls. However, at this low water level, we never noticed any rapid before Triplet that could be deemed a Class III. You'll see the post for Triplet campsite just before you hear the rapid. As the name indicates, Triplet consists of three drops. Again, this rapid can be scouted river left, and run with a sequence of Center, Right, Left, respective of each drop. The first drop has some sneaky rocks hiding under the surface, but with some good river reading skills a raft should be able the thread the rocks down the middle. The second drop has a beautiful tongue to follow. Move left for the last drop and avoid the rock on river right. The run out for the rapid seems a little shallow. Have your eyes scouting for the best channel to follow.
