About this place
Every summer, more than 30,000 adventurers find their way to the sheer-walled canyon to challenge its daunting rapids in rafts and kayaks. Others seek the solitude and beauty of the shadowy canyon on foot. And still others know that native cutthroat and bull trout lurk in the deep pools and eddies of the gorge.
