Short Rapid

Also known as: Rapid 28

Short Rapid (Rapid 28) is one of the re-emerged lower Cataract rapids — a drop that has returned to visibility as Lake Powell reservoir levels have dropped. Documented by the Returning Rapids Project after the 2002-2003 drought. Sits at approximately river mile 200 upstream from Lees Ferry, downstream of Imperial Canyon. Character evolves as sediment transport and reservoir level continue to change through the reach.
