White Water Walk

Our next adventure was the White Water Walk.
We rode an elevator down 70 meters, then walked along a tunnel that is 73 meters long. The Boardwalk beside the rapids is 305 metres (1,000 feet or ¼ mile) and stairs lead to two observation areas at the edge of the River.





The rapids in this stretch of river are Class VI: Extremely difficult to successfully maneuver due to significantly steeper vertical drops and boulders. Usually considered unrunnable.


The ten to fifteen foot standing waves are not caused by boulders
or rock obstructions but rather by the sheer force of the water
being forced through the narrowing gorge.
