Crystal Rapid | Grand Canyon - Februaray 2024

Crystal Rapid
Class 8 | 15 ft drop
"Crystal Rapid has strong holes at the top of the rapid and a large rock garden at the bottom. Either a right or left run will avoid the top holes, though if you run left, don't go too far left or you will have to deal with a very strong eddy fence and pour-over at the top of the Slate Creek eddy. Just past the eddy the river left wall projects into the river and can flip rafts as well. Once past the upper holes, staying way left or way right of mid-stream can clear the rock garden at the foot of the rapid." from Guide to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon (Lees Ferry to South Cove) by Tom Martin.
