Funnel Falls
Funnel Falls is the first rapid of the Westwater inner gorge — the entry into the continuous Class III–IV sequence that defines the heart of the run. The Precambrian schist walls narrow here and funnel the river into a constricted channel that builds wave character quickly. Class III at most flows; it sets up Surprise and then Skull, 0.7 mile downstream.
