August 5, 2009 – The Canyon

We woke this morning to rain, rain and more rain so we just hung out at the campground.  We did find more wood so Andy spent some time cutting it up (between the raindrops – :-)).

It clear this afternoon so we decided to visit the Canyon Overlook.  This is where Canyon Creek and East Fork converge.  In the late 1800’s there was a road house here and it is where many of the miners met before going on to their claims.   Some pictures of the creeks:

We decided to continue to some of the other overlooks and found a rafting trip just starting:

Actually, they make them float down the river for a ways and then they get in the raft and go.  It really looks tempting – :-)

And it stayed clear enough to have a wonderful campfire!

I will leave you with one last picture:
