On the Colorado River

Marble Canyon

P1020821

That's the raft that took us down the Colorado River through Grand Canyon, from Lees ferry all the way to Lake Mead! The water at Lees ferry is clear but after awhile, the water turns into the brown color that you see in the picture. It was amazing when we saw the really clear water from Lees ferry mixing with the brown water of the Paria river!

Hi Haydee! The rafting was really fun! You get to run rapids rated class 1-5 (it was like a roller coaster ride)! Yeah, the side hikes were neat! We went to a bunch of waterfalls(where the water is delightfully warm, compared to the 47F water of the Colorado river) and saw some Indian pictographs and fossils.
