We stopped at Matkat (short for Matkatamiba) Canyon for a short hike up a very narrow slot canyon. The goal was to try to not touch the water that ran through the canyon by supporting yourself with your feet on one side of the canyon and hands on the other. It was tough in sections because the canyon was a little wider than we were tall.

Upset Rapid day, rated “6″, BJ hits the hole at the bottom. I sat this one out so that I could take photos of everyone coming through. Quite entertaining.

Camping at Upset Hotel, a very cool rock ledge overhang. Also a neat rock walled groover area that previous rafters have built. We all slept in a row. The afternoon sun at camp was much needed and welcomed with beers and music and a few costumes.
