Waterhole Canyon Rapid

Also known as: Rapid 30, Waterhole Rapid, Waterholes

Waterhole Canyon Rapid (Rapid 30) is a re-emerged rapid at the mouth of Waterhole Canyon on river-right in lower Cataract. Documented by the Returning Rapids Project; photographed at 6,500 cfs. Character is shaped by the debris-fan influence from Waterhole Canyon side drainage, and the rapid continues to evolve as Lake Powell reservoir levels and sediment transport shift through the reach.
