Canyon Doors (III) - The sheer cliffs that rise out of the right bank make this rapid one of the most picturesque on the river. There are five rock faces (doors) separated by seven steep vegetated gulches (hinges). Like Koontz Flume Rapid just upstream, this rapid flows over smooth shelf rock, and is on average rather shallow. It is also banking a steep turn around the tip of Koontz Bend, which explains the extra wear on the right side of the gorge through this section, and the location of the fastest current is along the outside.

The widest entrance is on the right. The rapid opens up and picks up speed as it slides down over the shallow shelf rock into a stiff hole.
