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

At low flows a short pool separates the Boulder Field and Dead Foot Falls. The rapid is entered right of center to center, and the typical line slides to left of center and left of the Fang (a.k.a. Nemesis Rock) that's in the center of the river (pictured on the left edge of the image). The current pushes boats into this rock!
