Rafting in Jackson Hole, WY

I had a 3-day weekend and Anthony was getting antsy sitting around Salt Lake, so we decided to float the Snake River in Wyoming this weekend. Anthony rented a raft from his school and I headed down Friday morning. We camped out a few miles south of the town of Jackson. It rained all night.

Saturday morning, we got up and headed to the river. We looked like this at the put-in spot:The high temperature was 53 degrees Fahrenheit, and the sun never came out. The water of course came from melting snow. The river was flooded and fast. We had an average speed 6.5 mph, and a max speed of 12.4 mph in some rapids. It rained all day.

After dinner, we went to bed around 9 because it was still raining and we didn't want to sit around outside. It rained all night.
