High Mountain Doings

From 8200 feet along one side of the Upper Arkansas River Valley in central Colorado, my blog is about many things: travel including river and bicycle trips, and other experiences as well. The focus is on photography, not lots of text.

Lava Falls from Toroweap


Lava Falls Rapid, probably the roughest rapid in the Grand Canyon, about a mile downstream from Toroweap. I'm guessing the water level was about 15,000 cfs since it was a little low to run the left side but the right side was big. We saw several rafts go through on the right side.

There is a trail from the rim down to the rapid, a mile or so downstream from Toroweap. A road goes out there. I walked/scrambled down there a few years ago. Might do it again but it takes another day at Toroweap. It's not a quick hike.
