Description

"King Queen Jack" Rapid - AKA "Landslide", AKA "The Falls".  The most vigorous drop is called King Queen Jack (III-) and is usually run right or right of center. The rapid was formed when part of the canyon wall on river left fell into the river. The old scar is visible high on the mountain for a considerable distance upstream.  This is the reason for the alternate name 'Landslide', but some people find this confusing because of another 'Landslide' rapid on the Upper Smokehole Canyon.
