Escalante Creek - Escalante

Corkscrew

Rapid Details

Name Corkscrew
Class V-
Description

Running this rapid never feels quite right. The goal is to get a solid left stroke at the entrance to avoid getting slammed and flipped into the pillow of water deflecting off a rock on river left.  Watch a few lines and it will become apparent how the rapid gets its name.  If you get corkscrewed here, roll up fast because the riverbed is rocky and the crux gorge is quickly approaching.
