Grand Canyon: Day 7 (the day of "rest")

On the seventh day, we rested. Well, except for hiking about an hour down to the river from our camp, relaxing most of the day, and then hiking back with water for camp (collected from the side drainage between the river and where we camped) on our backs.

This is the pour at the end of the drainage we camped in. No, we didn't climb down (or up) it.

A raft traverses the rapids. Note that they intentionally take the fun (i.e. more active) part of these rapids, which are not particularly dangerous.
