Squaw Creek

Squaw Creek is less than an hour's drive from Boise near Marsing.

Here it is coming up in the distance.

Erika and Cassie at the beginning of the canyon.

 

Looking down canyon at the start.

That is Megan at the bottom and Garrett off to the left in green. 

There was a lot of rock hopping, which the kids loved. 

Deanne stopped to play in this pool of water.

Further up canyon 

This was the only obstacle we encountered. 

We all climbed up the crevice to the left of the large rock. 

Except for Garrett who took a running leap up to the right.

Cassie and Erika contemplating the climb.

Now how did this boat get out here?

Contemplating how much further to go on... 

It didn't look too appealing up ahead, 

so the kids decided to wait here while Shane and I checked it out.

..and again minus the kids.

Heading back down. 

Bypassing the obstacle on the way down with a rope to help the little ones. 

Cassie and Deanne.  

This was about as deep as the water got. 

Just about to exit the canyon and head back home.
