Using a life jacket as a float, and to protect one's backside, you can float aimlessly down the Little C.

Every trip down the canyon has highlights.  The highlight of the first half is without a doubt, when the weather on the Kiabab Plateau and in the White Mountains is good, the Little Colorado River.

Warm turquoise colored waters, smooth travertine rocks, the Little Colorodo is a playground waiting to happen. 

From the Little Colorado we ran down the river, ultimately camping at Lava Canyon, or Chuar.  At the site we picked we were greeted by a rattlesnake, which made several of the women - and Al - jumpy.  In fact, Al would have had us camp at a terrible site about a mile or two upstream.  This worked out well.  We even had our own mine, the Morningstar!
