Day Nine turned out to be the best day yet. We were met at the lodge lobby by the bus and off we went to raft the Colorado River. Had a wonderful guide and the trip was perfect, especially considering several were a little nervous. The rapids were class II and III and thus nothing that would throw you out of the boat but enough to give you a good soaking, with 50 degree water, cold. We did not jump in. Unfortunately, we did not have the camera and have no photos from the morning activity. Back at the lodge we disembarked from the bus and straight to the swimming pool for a picnic and swim…and we had it all to ourselves. After a little rest we headed back out and met the wranglers for a horseback ride up the mountain. Again, it could not have gone better. A little over two hour ride up the slope and across creeks (5 of them). Back at the lodge for heavy snacks and a well deserved (or two..ok three) cold beverage and we were ready to turn in for the night.
