My home for 7 weeks.
The view from my table.
Look carefully for 2 boats in the lower part of the picture, headed toward Lava Falls Rapid. The first boat flipped and dumped everyone. The water is normally clear because of Glen Canyon Dam catching all the sediment but the monsoon rains produced a 25,000 cfs flood out of a side canyon that muddied the Colorado.
I've been at Toroweap for several days and am settling into my camp. We've had Monsoon moisture around for several days and it has produced a lot of rain. The ranger station had 0.9 inches one day and 0.3 inches the next. Not bad for an area that receives about 7 inches a year on the average and about half of that is usually snow in December and January. It sounds like another Monsoon pattern is setting up so there may be more rain. I'm in town for the day picking up mail and getting one of the vehicles serviced. I will head back to Toroweap tomorrow.
Hi Gary, It looks beautiful, in a desert way. Enjoyed the picture of the river with the little dots which are boats on the Col R. Quite a view. Stay well, John V
