Tapeats Creek
Tapeats Creek Photo by Daniel Bolster River DescriptionTapeats Creek is a unique boating experience. This miniature box canyon is a spring fed whitewater stream that flows into the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Intrepid creek boaters who are hungering for a quick fix of creekn after days on the Grand can run Tapeats from the top of the micro gorge to the campground below. The carry up to the top of Tapeats Creek is arduous and a bit dangerous, but well worth the effort. The whitewater is spring fed, refreshingly cool, and difficult. Rescue by fellow boaters is difficult but at least the canyon has rim side access for rappelling and rope extractions. If your are dedicated and want a truly unique creek run that is essentially the only creek with a permit requirement then stop off at Tapeats while floating the Grand.StreamTeam Status: unverified
