Henry was sporting the beverage raft, while the rest of us were rocking the tubes. I have to admit it was sort of funny watching people pass us in big rafts with helmets and life jackets while we were just sitting in tubes drinking. The water was unfortunately pretty cold, around 58, and the sun hid behind a cloud for half of the trip. We did go through some class 1 rapids, which were pretty fun, and the canyon was just unbelievable. We were surrounded by 1000 foot cliffs all day. There was one wave that Aaron, Kristen and I all went through, and wrecked. The video is from Aaron's perspective. The sound is pretty cool when the GoPro goes in the water.
Luckily at the end of the trip, we stopped on the side of the river where the hot springs came into the river by Glenwood Springs. It really is amazing how warm the water was. To finish off the day, we went over to Rob and Henry's amazing place in Beaver Creek, had some great BBQ and ribs while enjoying the view. Really a great day! If these past two weekends are any indication of what my life will be like in Colorado, I'm sad it took me this long to come out. That being said, I still do miss my friends in DC. You should all come out here!
On Friday, I may be trying my first 14er, either Gray's or Torrey's. There is a good chance I will just sleep in, but hopefully I will wake up in time. I have to wake up around 2 am on Friday morning if I want to hike it and get some turns in, so I decided to pack tonight. Maybe some GoPro ski footage to come soon.
For those that don't know, Bud Light Lime-A-Rita's are amazing!
