The Upper Provo Falls river run in Utah is a challenging Class III-IV whitewater stretch on the Provo River. The run features steep drops, narrow channels, and technical rapids, including "The Falls," a 12-foot drop that requires precise navigation.

It is not recommended for beginners, and experienced paddlers should exercise caution and wear appropriate safety gear. It is a thrilling adventure for those seeking a high-intensity whitewater experience.
