Back on June 10th I wrote about a new rapid that was formed on the Jarbidge River in Idaho. At the end of the post, I said I would post photos of the new rapid as soon as they were available. Well, here they are with some comments.
"Early in the morning on June 3 a major rockfall occurred on the Jarbidge. The result was a half mile long lake that completely submerged Sevy Falls. This formed Barker Falls which is a rock strewn 20' falls. The rocks are razor sharp. These pictures were taken by one of the guests on the trip and fail to show the two huge holes in the left run. Both will completely swallow a raft. The left bank continues to collapse from erosion" said John A.K. Barker of Barker River Trips. I am not sure of the 'official' name of this new rapid but until I hear differently Barker Falls it is.
