November 14, 2008.

Longtime whitewater rafting guide, Bruce Keller, takes his dory, One Eyed Jack, on a sweet ride through House Rock Rapid. House Rock is located near mile 17 and is given a rapid rating of 4-7. –Colorado River rapid ratings are given on a scale of 1 – 10, with 10 the most difficult. Ratings are based on river flows of between 5,000 and 25,000 cubic feet per second (cfs).– This clip was filmed recently on an 18-day O.A.R.S./Grand Canyon Dories trip from Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek, and the flow was approximately 12,100 cfs.
