Gauge Reading540 cfs at Rio Grande-6. Taos Junction Bridge to Embudo Station Restaurant

Probably one of the more famous rapids on the run. At moderate flows the rapid is usually ran down the left channel. Rafts often surf the hole in the last drop at low-moderate to low flows. At high flows the rapid creates a near river-wide massive hole renowned for flipping boats.
