GRAND CANYON RIVER RATINGS

CLASS I – X: The Grand Canyon uses a unique river rating scale. The rapids in the Canyon are technically rated I – X ( 1 – 10) to accommodate such a wide variety of rapids and river variances. However, most people are familiar with the regular I – V river rating scale, so we often refer to both.
