Beth Gaydos styling the bottom of the final drop on the Tiger Creek Dam run.  The mostly-submerged rock just to her right is a relatively new addition, and has changed a straightforward rapid into one that invites a little thought.  Many less-than-stellar runs have resulted from small mistakes higher up in the rapid, which magnify by the bottom into flips, cartwheels, and the like.  - Photo: Chris Shackleton
