We packed this day full! With a storm predicted for tomorrow, I didn't want to take any chances that we'd miss the highlights of Arches National Park. We took off early and drove another narrow twisting switchback to reach the main highlights of the park. We hiked into a viewpoint for Delicate Arch, but it was blistering hot. If we don't get back again, I can live with what we saw.
Steve wanted to go white water rafting. Usually, I'm game for anything, but the prospect of falling out of a boat in a raging river is terrifying. So we settled on taking a jet boat down the Colorado and it was delightful. Good for 80 year old Korean War vets and scaredy cats like me. The river is only 2.5 feet deep right now and we didn't see even a ripple.
Andrew, our guide/ captain, was so funny. He made the tour entertaining as well as informative. None of the neatest things we saw was a rock climber on the face of a massive wall of rock. When I posted it, Matt said he's climbed in that spot!
And to top off the afternoon, when we returned, I was able to swim another eighty lengths so I completed 109 miles!
