"Upon the shoulders of giants" - the Ledges - Grand Canyon

            "If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” Isaac Newton

“Build for your team a feeling of oneness, of dependence on one another and of strength to be derived by unity.”  Vince Lombardi

After exploring Kanab Creek, we floated down the Colorado River and camped at The Ledges.  (RM 151.5)  These are four of our River Guides and one of the assistants.  These are the giants whose shoulders I stood on (figuratively speaking) to get the photos on this trip.  They took us to wonderful places and brought us back.  From right to left - Trip Leader Neal MacAdam, boatwoman Faye Atkinson from Australia, legendary boatman, author and historian Brad Dimock, legendary boatman Dirk Prately and new assistant Aubrey Jones.  

I rafted with Arizona Raft Adventures AZRA.
