We were on the river by 10 am the next morning and made it through the S-bend rapids with no trouble so we weren't too worried about the Class III canyon coming up next. When we reached the takeout to scout/portage the canyon we were surprised to see it looked more like a class IV canyon.

So we portaged most of the gear and our boat, and ran the raft through the rapid.

Two km later we reached our campsite, located opposite a red cliff:
And before you knew it the beach was strewn with items being dried in the sun.
Highlight of the day: No rain! Also successfully ran Snake Canyon!
Plant of the day: The tiny, beautiful Lapland rhodendron (leaves are about 1.5cm long)
