( R . 1580 . ) ( Prom From ) the foot of Cataract Canyon down past the ( "Utah-Ari- UtahAri ) , zona State Line , ( he lie ) found lively rapids below the mouth of ( San Sail ) Juan River on the first trip down . He recalls sand bars existing for fifteen to twenty miles below Dirty Devil River and sandstone ledges , or shoals . ( R . 1581 . ) They picked their way down the river as well as they could through these shoals , and it is his recollection that the ledges ( ex- ex ) tend all the way across the river . He ( couldn't couldnt ) tell whether these ledges were uniform in height as they were under water and the water was so muddy , and there might be a channel through the ledges . ( R . 1582 . ) His estimate of these things , the shoals or the rapids , where they said it was easy , was with reference to the rapids above , ( which -which which ) they had gone through , which they considered difficult ; when they got into a place they ( didn't didnt ) have difficult rapids , they called them easy . The rapid water was all the way along above that rapid in Glen Canyon below the San Juan ; there were apt to be shoals and what they called little ( rapids xapids ) . In stating in his book the river in Glen Canyon was tame he meant compared with what they had been experiencing it was tame . That book was not checked up the way the other book was . That was more general statements . Had that very sharp rapid below San Juan , the only real rapid in the Glen Canyon ; the others aria what we would call more riffles , little rapids , shoals , |
