I had the oppurtunity to go on a four day rafting trip with the youngmen in my ward. We went down the Colorado River through Catact Canyon. We started in Moab, Ut and ended up in Lake Powell.
We got to do a few hikes everyday. These are some Anasazi ruins and petroglyphs. The other pics are of some side canyons we hiked up.
If you look hard enough you can see our heads in the water as we swim through the rapids. That was one of the funnest parts of the trip. It was exhausting too, because once you were about 2/3 the way through you had to start swimming to the side to get out of it. We thankfully didn't loose any body and no one got hurt the entire trip.
Your view going through the rapids.
This is the boat that I was on most of the time 
The river made a big 180 degree turn which took three mile so we hiked up and over the mountain to catch up with the boats on the other side. It was a cool view from the top.
We made camp on this beach the first night.
On the last night we were having a hard time finding a good place to camp. We found this little shelf on the riverside. I slept on top of a rock above this picture. The rock projected out above the river and had an awesome view of the river
I highly recommend Tour West River Adventures. They did a very good job. http://www.twriver.com/

Looks like an awesome time. We should have a "C" shift river trip. Glad to see Jose went with you on the trip. Glad he was gone by the time you came back to work. Lake Powell ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like a blast. Our youth did a river rafting trip this summer, but I couldn't make it. You're a lucky one Sammy. Great pics.
Looks like a lot of fun Sam! I wish I could have come along. Maybe we could plan something half as adventurous at our next Hale reunion.
