15' cascade in the upper (TN) portion of the canyon.

This 35' falls in TN (the waypoint) plunges into a cave, and the water re-appears out of a cave further downstream.

The water re-emerging from a cave. At high water the main channel carries water as well!

Looking upstream at a falls and the cascade from the cave.
