This is a photo of Boat Beach, near the confluence of the Colorado and Bright Angel Creek. From a high point on the Clear Creek Trail we saw a "rafter's camp" on a beach just east of us. I watched the commercial rafters getting things ready at Lee's Ferry the week before. Still not sure if I ever want to do this trip. I don't like being in large groups of people and life is pretty intimate on this sort of trip. There's always someone who would be annoying (to me) on a trip and undoubtedley I'd be annoying to lots of people too. The river at this time of year is so muddy and I'd like to do the trip during a "cleaner" time of year. However, in late March/early April it's not all that crowded. I'd hate the heat of high summer but it is one way to stay cool - apparently a trip through the Granite Gorge is definitely a wet one!
