It’s a launch for the 3rd Annual All Employee River Trip.
This year Ranger Jake was chosen for the upper portion of the Colorado River trip.
It wasn’t easy to just drop him off at Lee’s Ferry. I SO wanted to climb aboard as a stow away. But last year I got my turn.
After a quick visit with RVSue camping at Lee’s Ferry I raced to the Navajo Bridge.
And luck was with me as I captured the two National Park Service boats coming down the river.
First the S-rig.
Followed by the Snout.
Then down river they slipped away taking my spirit with them. Have you dreamed of rafting the Colorado River?
Great pics, Gaelyn – especially the ones from up above! Looks just beautiful!
Wow, that looks nice. They don’t make the employees ride rapids, do they?
I raced over here to see your eclipse pictures. Tease.
Of course we shoot the rapids. And it is Awesome!
Eclipse photo coming soon. I can’t believe you didn’t see it.
I bet you interested some new river customers with your great photos! Looks like fun. Is it an overnight trip?
Everyone should raft the Colorado. This trip was four nights camping along the river. Then Jake hikes back to the North Rim from Phantom Ranch.
I rafted the upper Colorado in the early 1980’s leaving from Lee’s Ferry! Wonderful trip! Your photos were great!
Interesting rafts, Gaelyn. Glad you got to see them from the bridge, too.
Wonderful, they should have taken you! When you go you take all your readers with you!
I’m remembering more and more that I’m human.
Hi Gaelyn, I like those shots you got of the rafts! I was 7 days on the river about 15 years ago. Still one of my favorite memories.
Rafting the Colorado is on our bucket list and you have made it even more inviting!
Oh, these brought back memories!! Been there, done that and it was wonderful! Terrific captures, Gaelyn!! Have a great week!
I have dreamed of rafting the Colorado River. A long long time ago I rafted on a river near the Mexican Hat at the 4 corners area and it was incredible. Some of the most memorable times were setting up tent along the canyons and listening to the water as you fell asleep to a cool breeze channeling through the rock. It was wonderful. This looks like a great trip as well.
You really must make that dream come true. It’s an amazing experience.
Beautiful pics. My OWT pics are up too.
wow, absolutely loved seeing this, gaelyn!
what fantastic, impressive shots, i wish i could raft Colorado river.
big higs!
So sorry you could not go this year. I would really love to go too. My grandson said yesterday that one of his ambitions is to see the Grand Canyon. I told him I would pay for it if he took me along , looks like it’s a deal as long as there is a possibility soe time that I can leave Peter for a while.
Wonderful photos Gaelyn.
I am sure you stood there watching them go off with such a longing to be on the trip while all those memories of last year came flooding back. Time to apply now already to go again next year.
I would have a hard time watching them go without me. The trip through the canyon is an amazing experience, one that will stay with me all of my life.
Oh jealous! Wonderful activity ….Wish I were younger.
Great pics of the river rafters, Gaelyn! I’d love to go on that trip.
I would LOVE to do that.
