Hermit Rapid | Grand Canyon - February 2024
Hermit Rapid
Class 8 | 15 ft drop
"Hermit Rapid is a large rapid with a series of huge standing waves that usually reach their peak midway through this rapid in the fifth wave, which can easily flip an 18-foot raft at water levels around 17-19,000 cfs. This series of waves can be missed by going right or left of the wave train. This rapid appears to have changed in recent years with waves that are more irregular and choppy and a tenth waves that sometimes flips boats, too" from Guide to the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon (Lees Ferry to South Cove) by Tom Martin.
