After the Glacier grinds the rocks to a fine sugar silt, the winds of the Tana Glacier carries the mountain exfoliation into the forest at the Sand Dune at this riverbend. It was interesting to see the Dune swallow the forest on one end of the dune and unbury the forest on the other. Magnificent happenings in the dunes were quickly drowned out by the roar of the first rapid as the braided river narrowed to a fast moving torrent through the first Class II drop. This Big Water aint so bad:)
