Day 15 in Grand Canyon: Ledges to Upper Cove

From Upset at mile 150 to Lava Falls Rapid at mile 180, the canyon opens up a bit and all the rapids are smaller. We do about 23 miles today and pull into camp late, get set up, have a fast dinner, and off to bed. The river is mellower, the rapids lower, and the scenery beautiful (as is it all). But we know that tomorrow is Lava Falls Rapid, the “Big One”. After Upset, I think all of us are worried about how we will do and how the boats will do.
