Wow, I'm just catching up on all my blog reading and astounded to see all these wonderful photos. Truly magnificent scenery. The rafting company you went with should link their website to yours.

The last photo of the Canyon is awesome! I remember doing a rafting trip and oddly have a very similiar dusk photo of the canyon walls that's always stuck with me.
