23. Headwaters Station

The current strengthens as the river narrows, flowing swiftly from a claustrophobic canyon up ahead. Your boat bucks against the swiftmoving water, but you finally make it past the mouth of the canyon, and find a rope rigged along the rock wall, perfect for pulling yourself along. After long minutes of hauling, the canyon widens and you pull yourself into a circular basin. Several small waterfalls form a droning chorus, downing out all other sound as they feed the sapphire-blue pool.
