Gila River - Arizona Box - May 4 & 5, 2024 - Packrafting 

Gila is beautiful! San Francisco River is beautiful Thx for sharing

My son and daughter-in-law and I did our first float ever just upstream of this descent about the same time. We put in at Redrock, NM and floated to the Highway 92 bridge. We definitely underestimated the length (took about 7 hours) and didn't use enough sunscreen (still burnt). It was a great day, just too much of a good thing. Passed by an extremely angry mountain lion, thankfully on the opposite side of where I was floating, even though the river was pretty shallow. He was huge, by far the biggest I've ever seen. That freaked me out a bit (only animal I'm really scared of). Several portages and shallow sandbars, so I was beyond toasted after that long of a day (I'm 55 and not in the shape I once was). Anyway, your videos have been extremely helpful and inspiring to me to take up the sport, so I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your efforts (keep it up).

Surprised the flow is still so good in early May. I need to do this one again.

Thanks for sharing this.
