Rainbow Falls (Unrun)

Lip of Rainbow

Bottom of Falls

This is the first rapid you will come to after Rainbow Falls. Typical trash rapid

Early Drop. Look at the pictures below to get a better idea of the landing. Water pours over the tan colored rock serving as a horizon line in this picture

Fairylandesque

This is the landing of the drop shown above

We eddy hopped until here. Scouted the slot shown here and were able to run it. It turns to the right as you can see the wall doing in front of it.

Superman

This is what you'll be seeing if you are in the correct location on the lip of Superman
This is what you'll be seeing if you are too far left on Superman Don't get pinned on your back deck going under this undercut other wise you'll look like: Click Here		Looking at the undercut from the bottom

Small Class III after Superman

	Eventually the action will let up and level out before dropping again and not letting up till reaching the Tennessee River Notice as you are looking down this stretch you'll see a big sloping boulder at the end. There's another picture of it below.
	I'm pretty sure this is the same boulder, from here on out, scout every horizon line for wood or lines ending in sieves. There are doable lines on nearly every rapid except a couple.

 

Both of the above pictures are the entrance into Shoot me in the face with a 9 There's actually another entrance drop just before you get here. I don't have a photo of it but it's featured during my(Ben's) segment of Local Hero. It's the shot where the blue/black gradient goes over the pour-over going straight at the wall but charging left you can catch an eddy just before going here, to this hole.

This is the exit of Shoot Me In The Face With A 9. A cheat exists that dumps in from the river right side just in front of the log. Below is a picture of it. I run the cheat in Local Hero. Walled out landing...

The pour-over comes from between these rocks and falls into the crack I'm standing looking up from.
