Rafting and hiking with Kate and Jordan

"The Nozzle" is the first drop on the Tutshi River. The river narrows between large rocks as it drops about 6 feet down. The nozzle isn't quite wide enough for a raft to fit through.

As we scouted from shore our guide explained that we would have to hit the chute on the exact right line and then lean hard right as we rode up onto the rock on the right side of the nozzle. Failure would almost certainly result in the raft flipping. My niece Kate took it all in and announced, "I think I'm going to poop myself."
