Lion's Head Rafting

page1_blog_entry4_1
Rachel and I spent last night sleeping in a tent in the cold on Caribou Creek. We spent the prior day rafting down Lion's Head which passes directly below Matanuska glacier. Lots of fun, but not as exciting as prior trips. Lion's Head is usually Class 3/4 rapids, but with winter arriving earlier this year the ice isn't melting and the river levels are dropping. Still a good time...but the water was pretty cold, had to have been low 40s. Posted a few pics...
