Another day in the paddle boat. Stopped mid-morning for a short walk up a side canyon where there was a nice stream running down. It is startling to see the vivid greens after the muted reads and browns of the canyon.
Mostly flat water for the rest of the day it was notable how high the walls are becoming, when we started walls of a couple of 100 feet looked spectacular, now the walls are well over 1,000 feet on each side.
We made camp on a bend in the river we walked a short but very step trail (700 feet up in under a mile) passed some of the most pitcher postcard views to date. At the end of the trail there was an 1,000 year old granary caved into the cliff wall. Amazing to see such a amazing structure just inserted into the cliff, felling the effects if climbing this route just one gave a new appreciation of how hard these peoples lives must have been.
