The view from up on the canyon
side, at an Anasazi Indian ruin where they once stored their grain. |
 |
Some campsites were more
comfortable than others. |
 |
|
 |
The water of Havasu Creek is
an emerald green, quite different from the Colorado River. The three
boats on the left are wooden dorries, another great way to see the
river. |
 |
The bridge on the Bright Angel
Trail, crossing at the Phantom Ranch. |
 |
Loaded and ready to head out! |

smaller raft passing by. |

Watching a raft on the approach
to Lava Falls. |
 |
|
 |
Despite the size of the rafts,
rapids can be very exciting. |

Bill's picture I always wanted to junmp off the cliffs... |
 |
Bill's picture I scratched the cornea of my right eye during this jump. Thankfully, it was on the last day before we got off the river. |

Bill's picture After leaving the river we travelled together to the canyon overlook to re-create a picture Bill took years before. |

 |
Buckskin Canyon, Utah Recent floods had deposited sand along the bottom of the canyon. It made hiking very easy. Returning a year later, we found that this is not the norm. The ground was covered with large boulders. |
 |
Buckskin Canyon, Utah The log wedged 100 feet above Kathleen's head (think 'flash flood') made us a little nervous. |
