A two-fer this week; first, a picture of the strong Augustine eruption that happened Sunday. The linked page goes to the page with numerous IMPRESSIVE pictures of this year's activity.
Part 2: "The River Wild" was on TV this weekend. I searched and found that the two rivers it was filmed on were in Montana. One of the rivers is the Kootenai River, featuring Kootenai Falls.
According to the caption for this picture, Kootenai Falls at this stage is "runnable".

I must belong here. I too started Googling to find out what river that was after watching the movie!
