Camp 15: Mohawk (12/13)
We gave up a long hike in Havasu (we ended u[p only spending an hour there when
you could spend a day there pretty easily) in order to attempt to squeak in one
more unscheduled layover after Lava-day. Good thing! The weather
turned nasty after about an hour or so after we left Havasu and we had to battle
the winds a bit to make it to Mohawk before dark. We did make Mohawk in
the daylight and did a Lava dance in the wind. Some stayed up late playing
cards. Most got in their tents pretty early to avoid being out in the
storm.
After Havasu, the river slows down considerably. The canyon at Mohawk Camp
has a nice short slot near the mouth of the canyon (less than an hour round
trip).

Havasu pull in (one boat missed the pull-in but eddied out right after and had no problems joining us on the hike) |
