Rafters passing through.
The volcanic cinder cones and lava flows in this ancestral home of the Southern Paiute people make this area unique.
This is the largest rapid on 300 miles of the park's Colorado River.
Doesn't look like much from 3,000 feet above.
Even the outhouse has a great view
The Kaibab squirrel lives in ponderosa pine forests where it builds its nest out of twigs and pine needles. Kaibab squirrels usually have a black belly (which is sometimes gray), white tail, tufted ears and chestnut brown head. The tufts on the ears grow longer with age and may extend 1 to 2 inches above the ears in the winter, and may not be visible in the summer.

The weather turned cold and windy overnight.
On the way to our air down spot we could see white caps on the reservoir.
We reached the air down spot and decided to call it quits for the day.
What a difference a day can make with the weather. Headed out to run Razzle Dazzle Trail.
