We finally managed to get on the river for the first time this year! We were supposed to do this stretch of the Colorado a few weeks ago, but that trip was cancelled because of weather. Luckily we were able to find time this weekend to try it again. Here's a few photos I took throughout the afternoon on my old Canon point & shoot...

Weather was great, water was moving pretty fast.

The water was still moving pretty quick. We finished the trip in under 3.5 hours which included a stop for lunch at Two Rivers Park in Glenwood Springs. It was a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday afternoon :)

Very cool! Is it on Colorado? Did you go over night or a day trip?

great photos. that is where i started my guiding career in 76. i was going to school at cmc and worked summers as a raft guide in the fledging commercial raft industry in glenwood. don't know how many times i made the run from glenwood to dinosaur. used to run shoshone a bunch too. great memories. thanks for bringing them back.
