Enjoying a sunny day on the Snake River
Despite a forecast of rainy weather, we woke up to a hot and sunny day. We soon entered a braided section which required some tricky maneuvering through narrow sections.
Fabulous views in a non-braided portion of the river
We stopped at Waterfall Creek and clambered up the narrow canyon to check out the waterfalls.
After the falls we looked for the last major rapids of the trip, described as a Class III rapid with large wave train and a giant hole easily avoided in the right. The raft managed to avoid the rapid on the right, but somehow Leo and I managed to go straight through the big rollicking waves, and we forced to (easily) avoid the giant hole on the left.
We camped soon afterward on a broad sandbar covered with dryas seedheads.
Our campsite with its beautiful views
We called this campsite the end of the mountains, because the mountain you can see in the photo above is the very last mountain on the river. After we left this campsite we entered the Peel Plateau.
Finally had a chance to catch up on your excellent adventures, well done, well lived!! We are all great in Baja!
