Kolb Camp

A river-right camp between Big Drop 2 and Big Drop 3, also called Big Drop 3 Beach.

Also known as: Big Drop 3 Beach

Kolb Camp is a river-right camp in the Big Drops, between Big Drop 2 and Big Drop 3. It sits in the middle of the canyon's biggest whitewater, which makes it as much a scouting stop as a camp: Big Drop 3 is just downstream.
