| River: North Fork Virgin River, Zion National Park |
| Segment: Satan's Staircase |
| Flow: about 220 cfs |
| Date: May 2000 |
| Class: IV |
| Paddler: Brian "BigE" Englehorn |
| Description: First descent of the new and "improved" Landslide Rapid (aka Quattro Falls). the drops are boulders keyed into the bed by highway construction. Their purpose is to slow down the current and maybe keep the road fromwahsing out (again). They have made the best low-water rapid in the park. These hydraulics have not been tested above 300 cfs. They WILL be wild. |
