| We finally made it to Hell's Canyon, after only 6 months of waiting! Tracy's sister Kelly joined us, as well as some of the guys & gals from work. Here are some photos from the trip, starting with the three of us at the put-in below Hell's Canyon Dam. |
 |
| Tracy and Eric above Wild Sheep rapids, the first of 3 class IV rapids on day one. We scouted it before we ran it so the guides could determine the right line to run. Note Eric's awesome wetsuit.... |
 |
| Tracy with her river face on. Note the oarboat behind us carrying all of our gear (including our kayaks!). |

| More river buddies! |
 |
| Russ, our guide, "boofs" off a rock above the river...about a 12-foot drop. |
 |
| Day 3, we got in the kayaks. |
 |
| Action! Tracy on her way up from a "confidence roll," practicing for the real thing if the river flips us over. |
 |
| A nice shot of the canyon from "Suicide Point," a point on the trail about 800' above the river. |

 |
| The last day we got up very early to get to the take-out. When the sun hit the river, we got a little river fog. Here's a great shot of Tracy paddling the last rapids before the take-out. |

| Sisters...Hell's Canyon complete! |
