• ... that the Grand Canyon's Thunder River is the steepest in the United States? Source: [1]
  • ALT1:... that the Grand Canyon's Thunder River is only a half-mile long? Source: [2]

• Article is new, long enough, and doesn't raise any copyright, neutrality and citation concerns. The second hook is uninteresting and the first one does not match either source (NAU just says it's steep, Backpacker says it is one of the steepest). QPQ is fine.

SounderBruce, please look again. Backpacker says "Follow the churning river as it literally thunders 1,200 verticle feet to Tapeats Creek in just a half-mile, making it the steepest river in the United States (it's also one of its shortest)." MB 13:15, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Alright, I see it now (was looking at an earlier hit in the same page). Original hook is good to go. SounderBruce 20:51, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
