06:38 after an entire night of heavy rain we see that National Canyon had flooded and poured mud into the Colorado river - all the colour here is from National Canyon
06:38 I was totally soaked from sheets of water flowing thru camp
as was Jim Jolly who had it even worse with a creek forming and flowing thru his camp
06:435 camp ravens
06:43 sunrise finish colours clouds
06:54 rock formation above camp looks like hen on her nest
06:54 looking up National Canyon - we will hike up this later
07:34 after breakfast my camp is stilling drying out and because we will hike national before starting downriver both Jim Jolly and I will get some things dry or partially dry
07:54 we are hiking up National Canyon - we start out in the creek and spend some time wet but this is fun
08:07 some time is on ledges, some clambering and some time is spent in the creek but this is a really fun hike all around
08:07 early in the hike there are several more narrow slow sections
08:08 with a lot of rise and mud falls
08:08 still a lot of water flowing - we can see bathtub ring indications it was quite a bit higher last night
08:16 we take it easy on this hike to enjoy the scenary
08:16 Tabitha and Sarol Gay
08:20 our trunaround spot - several of the experienced climbers play around a waterfall having fun trying to get past it while we watch and take photos
08:56 National Canyon has several large wide views shown below - it is one of my favorite hikes on multiple river trips
09:43 we are on the boats and heading downriver - Jim and I will be drying clothes and camp gear tonight but made some progress during the hike
10:46 tied up for Mohawk Canyon hike
12:06 Mohawk Canyon is a very nice hike and we took time to enjoy it
12:08 lots of fun clambering
12:16 wet rock slick in spots but no real trouble - just fun
12:21 Mohawk was very lush with lots of seaps feeding vegetation
12:24 arch site up Mohawk
12:39 big scenary
12:42 a lot of ledge hiking
12:45 canyon opens up and hike continues
13:13 we reach our turnaround point - blocked by a pool and large rock
13:43 everyone enjoys some down time
13:51 but all too soon we get ready to hike back
14:07 on the return hike
15:06 back at our boats, we ba=oard and head downriver
15:22 heading downriver
15:55 we spot Red Slide ahead on river right
15:56 Red Slide is a rock-slide in the Supai which eroded into pretty hoodoos standing on a steep slope
detail of some hoodoos
16:09 Teddy rowing hard to get us into camp at Below Redslide RM176
