Tapeats Creek, with yellow Brittlebush plants; the creek approaching cliffs of Tapeats Sandstone, near the Colorado River
English: Tapeats Canyon, containing Tapeats Creek, a roaring creek & watershed from Swamp Point (at Upper Saddle Canyon, (with Muav Canyon)), and watershed from Upper Crazy Jug Canyon (extreme northeast). The creek flows from the North Rim (west region).
  • The canyon and Tapeats outfall enters Granite Narrows, downstream from Middle Granite Gorge, on the Colorado River, in the Grand Canyon.
  • The Tapeats watershed is complex, with source watersheds northeast at Crazy Jug Canyon (northeast), and Saddle Canyon (flowing north from the south). Tapeats Creek has its major source-water from Thunder River, meeting Tapeats Creek in the West Tapeats Amphitheater (Middle Tapeats Creek). The source-water of Tapeats Creek is from the Tapeats Spring (from the w:Muav Limestone, same as Thunder River), but probably only about 1/4 the quantity of Thunder River. The Tapeats Creek is a perennial flowing stream.
