Trip Itinerary Day 8-14  Day 1 - DAY 7 |

Day 8: Today will be
spent hiking the spectacular mountain ranges
surrounding the River. The rise behind the
campsite is home to a spring and bizarre suspended
'water bridge'! |
| |
| Day 9: This
morning we will paddle the beautiful, but not difficult,
First canyon. The afternoon will take us through some
large waves at the base of some cliffs, before we arive
at Egotachile Creek rapids and the second canyon of the
Mountain. Lots of R II’s today. 34 km | |

Day 10: Today we will
paddle "U" turn half canyon (R III), before
heading on to Third canyon (R II/III). The section
from the half canyon to the Third canyon consists
of almost continuous wavy RII and III’s. This is a
very exciting section of river, with some of the
most enjoyable and continuous rapids to be found
anywhere. 36 km

morning hike at Third canyon, before we get on the
river to paddle swift current, RI’s and Fourth
canyon (R II/III). 38
