Blacktail Rapid (3)

Read and run rapid formed by the outwash from Blacktail Canyon that comes in on river right. This is also a good hike up into Blacktrail Canyon where you can witness the Great Unconformity--rock layers separated by a billion years in time--and enjoy the acoustics if you have brought instruments along. This rapid also marks the start of Conquistador Aisle, an incredibly scenic section of the Grand Canyon.
