The Keeneys - shot from Beauty Mountain


Description: As the water gets to this level and higher, you can see that Upper, Middle and Lower Keeney mesh together and form one class V rapid. The main current comming out of Middle Keeney goes straight into the Meat Grinder (in the photo, Middle Keeney is located at the wide spot of the river where it bends to the left going downstream and the Meat Grinder is obscured by trees). It's pretty freakin dangerous and sieved out and the current at higher water levels will put you there in a hurry. If you find yourself swimming here don't just float into it, swim for your life.
