Pebbles Or Boulders?

Sometimes you can see every rock in the river

Top photo: The Middle Fork is so clear you can literally see every rock in the river in some sections.

This photo is just upstream of Loon Creek. The river enters a shallow section punctuated by gravel bars and wider more open canyon walls.

You can easily be so fixated on the water and the colors that you forget about the rapid just ahead.
