This stretch of the Colorado River through Grand Canyon is spiced with 86 significant rapids, including Lava Falls, which rampages over garage-size boulders at more than 25 mph. Itâs reputed to be the fastest navigable whitewater in the Western Hemisphere.

Within the Grand Canyon, the Colorado River flows 277 miles, drops 2,200 feet, and thunders through 70 major rapids.

About one-third of river runners do it themselves with a noncommercial river trip permit from the park.
