Rapid 2

Rapid 2 is an unnamed upper Cataract rapid between Brown Betty (Rapid 1) and Rapid 3. A minor read-and-run drop at moderate flows that blends into the building upper-canyon wave train at higher water. The upper Cataract rapid corridor below Brown Betty (Rapid 1) is formed by the gradient change where the combined Green-Colorado drops off the flat Meander Canyon gradient into the Pennsylvanian Honaker Trail Formation limestone. Rapid 2 is the first in the numbered rapid sequence after the Confluence transition; it stands as a read-and-run warm-up drop.
