It didn’t rain overnight, but on Day 9 we awoke to cloudy skies, so we were decked out in full rain gear again as we started our day. It was a short day of rafting, with two big rapids, Bedrock and Dubendorff, before we stopped for the day at Stone Creek. After lunch, the skies started clearing and we did a great hike up Stone Creek a few miles to a beautiful waterfall (and saw a rattlesnake along the way!).
