Description

Disaster Falls recieves its name due to the Powell party losing a boat here in the 1869 expedition.  This rapid is boulder lined so pick your line carefully throughout.  The top section has a drop in section followed by some shallows.  You then need to thread the needle between a large river right rock and rocks on the river left.
