White water rafting on the Colorado river with @surfermarly

Recently Hive account@surfermarly and I spend some time in Las Vegas celebrating her blogging success on steem. One of the fun things we did was going to the grand canyon and booking a one day river raft down the Colorado river.

I have always enjoyed getting pretty girls getting wet and when it was Hive account@surfermarly this day was certainly extra special!

125 degrees and ice cold water 48 degrees

On this day the weather was very very hot. In fact we had booked a helicopter ride that was part of the rafting tour which got cancelled due to the heat. I can't really understand how this works technically, or why a helicopter cannot fly in heat, other than maybe the engine heat, but we did not get to fly.

Since it was so hot and in order to cool off we jumped in the river every 20 minutes or so. Our guides told us that the water was 48 degrees. I cannot believe the 48 degrees as I can't imagine that one can swim in water this cold and it was actually pretty nice to swim in. However sitting in 120+ degrees on the boat and getting plashed by this ice cold water was pretty wild and ultimately super fun.

But see for yourself.

Hive account@surfermarly also posted about this experience. And since she is a much better blogger than me she did it much earlier. Here is her post: https://steemit.com/adventure/@surfermarly/marly-travels-2-white-water-rafting-adventure-in-the-grand-canyon-and-jumping-from-a-20ft-high-rock-into-the-colorado-river

I can definitely recommend doing this when you are in Vegas or in Arizona.
