Fun, fun canyon. Lots of floating plus some swimming, and a bit of down climbing to keep it interesting. Enough water on this day that we could mostly just let the current carry us along much of the time. Good experience down climbing in Class C conditions.

It became a little chilly waiting almost 1 hour (!) for 2 people ahead of us to finally get set up on the one and only rappel. And, in the end, we had to free their rope for them when they pulled, having left knots at the end of the rappel side. Seemed to be some kind of poorly-thought-out date. Sigh...

Some of our group jumped instead of rappelling after we checked for obstacles - pool was nice and deep, just be sure to jump out correct distance from the wall.
