 Looking up stream toward Holtwood Dam. Picture shows terrace level 1 (lowest) and disected remnants of terrace level 3

 Same picture as water is rising due to release from holtwood dam. Small bedrock knobs just above the water level represent the level 1 strath

 Same picture at even higher water. Notice that the level 1 strath is completely submerged.
     

 View looking downstream along the western shore just downstream of the bridge. People are stranding on a level 3 outcrop. Rough lower surface is the level 1 strath.

View looking down one the prominent channels in the middle gorge. Most exposed bedrock in picture is level 3.

 Looking downstream. Notice the increased height above the river level of island farther downstream.
