Description

The Maze is a long, multi-stage rapid that begins below Bloomer Falls and continues through the river reach that was scoured out in the epic 1964 flood when the Bloomer landslide dammed the river for several hours before breaking loose. Because of this recent origin of the rapid, The Maze section is different than all other rapids on the river except for Bloomer Falls, which was also transformed by the 1964 flood and landslide.
