| In November of 2001 I kayaked down the Colorado River through the upper section of the Grand canyon. I knew several of the people on the trip from kayak polo. These photos are courtesy of Alex and Preston. We put in at Lee's Ferry and I hiked out the Kaibab Trail, as I didn't have enough vacation to finish the trip. We took several hikes up side canyons, some highlights included a dead mountain lion, and potshards and dwellings left by indians. |

You can always find a comfortable way to sit on these rocks. |
