Today we returned in light drizzle and low vis for a look at the stream in the Matata Scenic Reserve. The kind Farmer offered us a lift up the farm tracks to drop us in at the head of the stream. Talk about luxury!!
The descent was pretty uneventful. There was one 3m drop right near the put in, but alas almost all the rest of the canyon was simply a rough boulder scramble.
The one redeeming feature of the trip was a very beautiful slot section with a 5m slide and 12m absiel about 2/3 the way through. This sequence was extremely beautiful, very fun and sadly rather brief.
We felt a little dissapointed overall with this trip, so went back to Kaumira to do the lower canyon for the afternoon.

About five million people visit the Grand Canyon every year, and for good reason. Rafting in the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River gives you sights and thrills that you won't get anywhere else.
