Lower Tuna campsite for lunch ~RM100.1 Colorado River Grand Canyon National Park Arizona

After lunch at Lower Tuna camp we continued rafting the Colorado River and headed into the Gems floating by canyons named Agate, Sapphire, Turquoise, Emerald, Ruby and Serpentine.  Each as precious as their namesakes.
