| Account | Bear Wallow Rapid, aka Banzai, may not look like much from this distance, but the water is moving like a frieght train. The wide white line just to the lower left of the raft(Downstream river right), is a huge nasty hole occupying over half of the river width. As you can see, the main current goes into the middle of this hole. The more famous Banzai Hole is washed out at high flows. At lower flows Banzai lurks in the convergance of the various entrance currents. The Hermit's Hole launch area is upper left in this photo. Bump City rapid is the right channel hidden by the grass at the bottom of the photo. The left and middle channels are options at high flows but become too shallow at low flows. One of the nice views while heading up the road to the Garnet Dike put-in. |
