Hiking the Colorado River






Tom attempts to cross the river, neck high frequently, but all the way across and back. Mission accomplished.

LOL, but this time of year that must be the best way to cool off,
how bad was the under curent?

For about 100 feet in the middle I had to dig my feet into the sand to keep from getting swept away but if you keep searching, you can find a sandbar to walk on. It took me about 45 minutes to cross over but on the way back I did it in about 15 minutes.

The obvious answer is, I wanted to see if I could do it.
