Looking 2850-feet Down from Toroweap Point (Grand Canyon) [View all]

Colorado River float-trip camp below the north rim of the Grand Canyon, on the floor of the canyon. I was 2850 feet above the river (and the camp), leaning over a ledge at Toroweap Point. Working without a net. Again.
Look closely, and you can see people, kayaks, tents, and the big rafts. And riffles in the Colorado River.
