Lava Falls Rapids

Here is a closeup of Lava Falls rapids from Toroweap Overlook. If you look closely, you might be able to make out a river running raft coming out of the whitewater. It was really neat to watch the rafters as they were about a mile downstream and 3,000 feet down, so the sounds were delayed about 7 or 8 seconds. I could hear the motor ramp up as the guide throttled it up to control his path through the rapids, then shortly after the raft plunged through the mayhem, I could faintly here the rafters yelling with excitement.
