Description

Upper Indian Crossing is a long rapid that goes around a left-hand bend in the river. It starts as a broad current passing over a bouldery river bed but as it swings around the bend, the river is pinched by bedrock and boulders on the right, focusing the flow to the left where it passes thorugh a pinch with either a wave or a decent-sized hole depending on water level. There's another hole/wave below then the river enters a pool separating this rapid from Lower Indian Crossing.
