Colorado River- West Water River Trip




Hello! I just rolled into town last night from our company trip out to the Utah. We floated the West Water section of the Colorado River. The trip was put on by the owners of the rafting company I work for during the summer. They supplied all the food, boats, and transportation for 15 of us total. It was a fantastic trip. It turned out to a be 3 day, 2 night affair. We spent the first night at the put in for the trip and the second night on the river. The first day on the river was rough because we had to row into the wind and the river was very calm (think like a lake), but the next day was filled with big rapids (so fun). I don't have any pictures of my boat running the rapids, but they will surely surface soon. This is officially the end of rafting for the Arkansas crew. People are all setting out in different directions from here on out. I am lucky enough to be headed to West Virginia to go raft the Gauley River (check it out on youtube), where I will find a reunion of boater friends. That's the next big trip and it's less than a week away! WOO! Now here are some pics from the West Water trip. The first picture is of one of the boats in our group floating through a cool section of the canyon. The second picture down is of our second campsite. Finally, the last one is of my feet during a break from rowing. Beer in one hand, camera in the other.
