The spray and the wind from the falls were so cold, I couldn't even get that close. This is how I enjoy the falls....brrrrrr:
I'm in the sun, it's 100 degrees and I'm still cold!Later, I did brave up and go in further down the river, away from the wind and spray of any waterfalls! A photo to prove it:
(I got out almost immediately. I'm a wuss. Brrrr)We were stopped for lunch after Navajo Falls, when we saw this guy jumping off Rock Falls. Um...buddy? Didja see the sign??
Never ones to be out-done... Craig, Dan, Chris and Christy all took the plunge. This picture is of Dan. I didn't manage to press the camera button correctly (it's a difficult task, you know) when Christy jumped, so she has no photo of it. Oops.
There is a ledge behind the waterfall that you could walk on - it was pretty awesome. 
Aimee is jumping and Christy is diving out of the waterfall:
I did this twice. I am scared of water and I wasn't really keen on jumping out of a waterfall, but I hate when people can do things I can't...and really how often do you get the chance to jump through a waterfall?? So, I did it. It was terrible. The weight of the water crashing down from the upper falls is so heavy that it pounds you deep into the pool. I hated it. But I did it again, so I could get a cool picture like this one. I jumped simultaneously with Aimee and Christy. Our timing did not match the photographer's though and there is no picture. But I did manage to land on Aimee and get tangled up with her under water, so it was doubly scary. Nope - not doing that again!
We stopped by Havasu Falls on the way home to cool down again. It was really, really hot.
I have no pics, but Aimee and Christy were very excited that one of the girls had some biodegradable soap and they were able to bathe! Me? Not so much! Have I mentioned how cold the spray and the wind from waterfalls are? Brrrrr!!!!
