The End to Triplet Rapid
MapPowell loved names that involved the underworld. Hell's Half Mile, Lucifer, Satan's Gut, etc. Most aren't as bad as they sound. Some, on the other hand, are. Worth noting that Powell portaged most of them. This one he gave the relatively mild name of Triplet.

MapThe water doesn't mix right off the bat. The Green River is also about 10-15 degrees cooler, which is very odd when you stand in the middle. Which of course we did.

Split Mountain
MapThrough a strange quirk of geology the Green split a mountain in half rather than going around it.
