“All this volume of water, confined as it is, in a narrow channel and rushing with great velocity, is set eddying and spinning in whirlpools by projecting rocks and short curves, and the waters waltz their way through the canyon, making their own rippling, rushing, roaring music.” Thus wrote Powell of Whirlpool Canyon below you. Listen… on a calm day you can still hear the distant music of the river.
