Granite Rapid

Granite Rapid at mile 93.9, the first of the three famous Upper Granite Gorge Class V rapids (Granite–Hermit–Crystal). Named for the Granite Narrows where the canyon constricts. Very large wave train, strong laterals, consequences amplified by proximity to Hermit 1.5 miles downstream.
