Description

At Washing Machine Rapid the river makes a sweeping right turn with rock cliffs on the left. It creates a short, fun rapid. You can catch mirco-eddies on river left. At the bottom is a strong eddy line and big eddy on river left. It is very deep. It’s great for practicing squirts.

(This Rapid is also referred to as "Box Car" and "the Staircase")
