One of the rapids I was most looking forward to on day 1 of my Colorado River rafting adventure was Badger Creek Rapids, just off of Badger Canyon, out of view to the left. It was time to get wet, and with the heat of the day, we needed it.

I was particularly interested in these rapids, because I have spent so much time on the cliffs above over the past 4 years visiting this place from the cliffs above, so to see and experience these rapids from the water level was very fun.

Pictured here is our second raft, along with all my new friends holding on and bracing for the next big splash.
