Grande Ronde
The Grande Ronde is located in northeast Oregon and is a tributary of the Snake River. Cousin Elizabeth came out for a visit and we went down the river to enjoy Aki's first overnight river trip. Willie and Kristin joined us by kayak.
This is the view looking towards the east down into the canyon of the Grande Ronde.

Aki, having watched everyone else, takes a turn rowing the raft.
All that rowing is hard work. Time for a break.
Hanging out in camp.
Helping with dinner. Bringing over a pepper for Willie to cut up for burritos.
