Sun just touching the top of the canyon walls when launching. Could be a long haul to Spanish Bottom but mentally it is a no-brainer. We are there, wind or no wind. This was the best morning of the trip as far as I was concerned. Sandbar and debris here are caused by floods out of the large Horse Canyon drainage. The sunrise here was one of those special hours. For having such magical lighting when we left, my photos were dismal and disappointing. Over/underexposed. Beaver and otter to be seen this morning.
