| Description: | Strange angle shot from river right bank gives you a view of the entire rapid. At the very top of the frame is Last Chance Rapid. At top right is a big pool that flows around and becomes the left entrance of the Chute and falls into the chute over the Rapid-long waterfall. The left side of the frame (river right) is the vertical rock wall. Swims here are usually fast and violent as swimmers are flushed out of the chute. However, river rash is not unheard of after collisions with the rock wall on river right, or sometimes prolonged in the holes at the bottom of the waterfall if a swimmer strays river left. | |||
