On Wednesday, June 6, we went through some small rapids...

... then took a break at the Little Colorado River for swimming some small rapids and jumping from a rock. The color of the Little Colorado was extremely blue since there was no rain coming from upstream...

After the Little Colorado, we ran Unkar Rapid. Unkar was the downfall of our boat - piloted by Tom - a.k.a. "Hydro". We flipped in Unkar with Tom, Jon, Leslie, Care, Scott, and Amy aboard. We managed to get on top of the boat and ride through the rapid and, once we got into the eddy, to right ourselves. It was a memorable moment in the trip, but we were all too busy to take pictures.

The next day we head for Vishnu Creek
