More Grand Canyon Pictures

Doug admires a free-standing rock

Karl and Wallapak take a break on a side canyon hike

Doug allowed us to take a turn in his smaller boat

Doug's 14 footer was much more maneuverable but also more tippy

Perhaps some thirsty hikers made it down to the river here?

Reflection in a canyon pool

Striking rock formation in a side canyon

I rowed some of the rapids backwards especially early in the trip as this gives you more power to maneuver

Unpacking

Jen and the Little Colorado

We saw some fine cloud formations

The side canyons provided some great scrambling opportunities

This walk took us to a good overview of the rapids we would run the next day

A bird's eye view of the rapids

Scouting rapids
 The next sequence of 4 pics shows Kevin and Jen as they run a rapid




This is Karl running the same rapids shot from below:

Cactus flowers were glorious

Rani and Kurt go on a scramble from camp

Accidental panorama shot produced an interesting camp life overview - the two scenes should be left to right...

We saw a few lizards, snakes, and  toads

  1. Hi Chris and Rani, wonderful pictures, it must have been such a good time.
    I admire your get up and go. All my excitement is in my head provided by a scarey chemical imbalence. I would rather see the canyon, what an experience!
    Hope Rani is ok, as much as possible.
    Lots of love, Helen X X
