Looking up river at the top of Last Drop, closer view
See Other Photo Versions
Description: Here is a closer look. At lower levels (around 1000) the center boulder rises about 6-8 feet above the water level when view from up stream. However, when the water is higher it only sticks out of the water about 2 feet (when viewing it from up stream). It does not look like much from up stream, but it drops down behind it. Be careful, if you drop in to close to the center boulder on its river right side, it will suck you in behind it and it is a dam hard swim (ball up and or dive deep) to get out. About 100 yards below this boulder is the second part of last drop; so if you have to bail at the top, save some energy to swim though the bottom.
