On our way down river day 1. |

My first camp site at mile 21.5 Wash. The tent and sleeping bag were provided our outfitter Arizona Rafting Adventures - AZRA. |
 |
Jose took this photo of the beautiful constellation Orion with Bill sleeping in the foreground in the wee hours of the morning on day 2 |
 |
This Milky Way photo by Jose. The sky was breath taking with no evidence of any light pollution. |
 |
We stopped at Redwall Cavern for a rest. |
 |
Powell thought it would hold 50,000 people but I think that was a strech. |
 |
It was nice and cool in here. |
 |
It sure does look big from this view. |
 |
My first "high dynamic range" hdr photo taken in camp at the end of day 2. |

Esther & Jean ready to hike. They were the best conditioned individuals in our group. |

Getting ready for a 2.5 mile short hike with about 450' elevation on day 3. |
 |
What a pretty back drop for our lounging area. |
 |
This day 3 hike got me fatigued as it was late in the day hot with lots of elevation. You need to be in relatively good shape to do these hikes. I hit the sleeping pad imediately after dinner without putting up a tent. The weather was so mild, so after day 2, I never put up the tent again and enjoyed the stars. |
