This long rapid has a fun wave train down the right side.
Keep it straight and have fun! The first of the rapids in the main gorge of Westwater. A short rapid, but a fun drop! Now that you're in the main gorge, there will be fairly continuous Class II rapids with bigger rapids throughout.
Mile Skull is the most difficult and consequential rapid on Westwater. A large rock blocks the channel in the center at low water, which turns into a massive hole at medium-high flows.
The river then turns sharply left, and on the right lies the Room of Doom, a continuously circling eddy that has no exit at flows over 10, cfs. At levels below 4, cfs, the run is a squeeze between the rock and the wall. Anything above that, the run is center-to-left. Don't pull left too early, or a rock will bounce you straight into the hole. Be ready to get wet, as this rapid takes you directly through a massive breaking wave.
Hit the entrance wave hard and straight. After, be ready to pull back to the right to avoid the Magnetic Wall. A large rock splits the channel. A fun wave train to the left of it takes you through the last rapid in the canyon. A view of the schist canyon within the red rock canyon.
Mile Bighorn Sheep camp on river right is the last large campsite in the canyon. You may be one of the millions of visitors who have seen Niagara Falls first-hand, but how much do you truly know about this natural wonder?
Here are some fascinating facts and figures about Niagara Falls. Did you know that Niagara Falls is not the tallest waterfall in the world? The Angel Falls in Venezuela stands at metres 3, ft.
What makes Niagara Falls so impressive is the amount of water flowing over. Most of the tallest falls in the world have very little water flowing over them. So, how much water actually flows over Niagara Falls? In this case, we are referring to water, which at standard temperature and pressure STP weighs one tonne per cubic metre.
STP is the weight of water at zero degrees centigrade at seas level, which is one atmosphere atm of pressure. To convert from tonnes per second to tonnes per minute, multiply by To convert from tonnes per second to tonnes per hour, multiply by 3, As the ice sheets advanced southward, they gouged out the basins of the Great Lakes.
Then as they melted northward for the last time, they released vast quantities of melt water into these basins. The Niagara Peninsula became free of the ice about 12, years ago. As the ice retreated northward, its melt waters began to flow down through what became Lake Erie, the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, down to the St.
Lawrence River and on to the Atlantic Ocean. There were originally five spillways from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Eventually, these were reduced to one, the original Niagara Falls, at the escarpment at Queenston-Lewiston. From here, the falls began its steady erosion through the bedrock.
However, about 10, years ago, through an interplay of geological effects including alternating retreats and re-advances of the ice, and rebounding of the land when released from the intense pressure of the ice isostatic rebound , this process was interrupted.
The glacial melt waters were rerouted through Northern Ontario, bypassing the southern route. For the next 5, years, Lake Erie remained only half the size of today, the Niagara River was reduced to about 10 percent of its current flow, and a much-reduced falls stalled in the area of the Niagara Glen. About 5, years ago, the melt waters were once again routed through Southern Ontario, restoring the river and falls to their full power.
Then the falls reached the whirlpool. It was a brief and violent encounter: a geological moment lasting only weeks, maybe even only days. In this moment, the falls of the youthful Niagara River intersected an old riverbed, one that had been buried and sealed during the last Ice Age. The falls turned into this buried gorge, tore out the glacial debris that filled it, and scoured the old river bottom clean. It was probably not a falls at all now but a huge, churning rapids.
The falls then re-established at about the area of the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge and resumed carving its way through solid rock to its present location.
Cavitation is a special type of erosion that happens at waterfalls because only at the base of waterfalls is there enough speed to produce enough bubbles close enough to rock to affect it. This is the fastest type of erosion. As the water goes over the falls, it speeds up, loses internal pressure, air escapes as bubbles or cavities. These cavities collapse when the water comes to rest, sending out shock waves to the surrounding rock, disintegrating it. The startling green colour of the Niagara River is a visible tribute to the erosive power of water.
