### Routes (per-entity markdown)

### Rivers
- 120+ Western rivers seeded as `type=river` routes (Colorado, Salmon, Snake, Rogue, Yampa, Green, San Juan, North Platte, and more) with whitewater class, run type (day/multi-day/expedition), Wild & Scenic designation, put-in/take-out, optimal CFS ranges, and shuttle logistics. Activity tier is derived from class: I-II is a casual float (tubes/no helmet), II+/III is a mixed river run (helmet recommended), and III+/IV/V is expert whitewater rafting (helmet required, guide strongly recommended). Filterable on /routes via the "Rivers" tab.
