river rapid / white water, interesting place
At the southern-most point of the snake river is a narrow section of the canyon where the churning water is compressed in a rock chute.
In 1811 a canoe full of Astorian fur traders overturned nearby, drowning one member of the party. The team was so frightened by the sight of Calderon Linn that they abandoned the river and went overland.
