Day 15 on the Grand

Sunday, March 23rd, 2008 by Lisa

March 23 :: River Day 15 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. March 23 :: River Day 15It 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.

March 23 :: River Day 15Camping 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.
