Driving home and saw a bunch of activity across the bridge... stopped, and found a bunch of kayak runners stranded on a large rock with rapidly rising water.. Just let a ton go from the resevour up river.. Sadly, one of them died. You can see the overturned pontoon boat. I can't tell you how deep this canyon is, and the lack of help if something goes wrong.... They did CPR for 45 minutes before they could get a helecopter to land in the canyon. The last one gives you an example of how steep the walls are... if the picture was the face of a clock, there are rescuers standing about 1:00, less then a 1/3 down from the top of the picture.. Can you see them in their orange vests?
Here, you can see the overturned boat - and the stranded boaters..
The bridge will give you an idea of the depth,
Here, they're bringing the overturned boat back down...
Can you see the rescue personnel?
