This river near Lander, WY, completely disappears into a series of caves the water has carved out of soft limestone. (The cave is the dark recess on the far left. It's full from the spring runoff now, but in summer you can walk into the cave.) It pops to the surface again half a mile downstream in a pool called The Rise.
Spelunkers have tried to explore the caves, but they're much too small and choked with branches for a human to get into. Guess they'll just have to remain a mystery for the next hundred thousand years.
Sinks Canyon is really, really gorgeous if you like rocks, as I do.
