What you'll find
Know what this listing is before you drive: this coordinate — note the suspiciously round latitude — lands in open desert near Searchlight, some 20 miles west of the Colorado River. It isn't submerged, it isn't remote whitewater; it just isn't anything. No rapid named “Five Rapids” appears anywhere in Colorado River records.
This is a database artifact, kept only to set the record straight.

Before you go
