Life on the Colorado River was interesting to say the least. Below is a photo of the trail up Tapeats canyon. One slip and a man will meet his maker on this trail. After a 200 foot climb up the sandstone, you follow this trail up several miles to Thunder River.
The hiking intensified that day. It was hot and the trail difficult. Not wanting to get her shoes wet, Dorothy got someone to carry her across the river. She was wise. Too bad her shoes didn't stay dry.
At Thunder River we were rewarded with a spectacular view. The river blows out of a hole in the side of the cliff with such incredible intensity. It then cascades down the side as a waterfall, literally like thunder. I was awestruck. Just to get perspective, note the large mesquite trees around the water.
