Boulder Garden Campsite

Boulder Garden is a Class III rapid located at mile 6-7 of the Gunnison River that was significantly altered by flooding in August 2010, making it less difficult than its former Class IV rating.

Scouting from the left is recommended before running, as high flows may continue to affect the rapid's hydraulics.

A designated boater campsite is located on the right above the rapid, providing overnight access for river runners navigating this section of the Gunnison Gorge.
