Kaylin Owens of Cosby, Tennessee, cruises down the Colorado River during our last full day in the Grand Canyon. This would have been September 10, or Day 15 of our journey.
The last few days of the trip were probably the hottest, and we dealt with a pesky headwind as well. I remember my body feeling stressed and drained, and all I wanted was to get out of there and back to civilization in all its air-conditioned glory.
But the chilly weather of this past weekend has made me look back on those days with rosier-tinted vision. When I look at photos like this one now, it's easy to forget the discomforts of multiple days in the wilderness and imagine an idyllic world of whitewater frolic in a sun-drenched canyon paradise. It's funny how that works.
