Kayaking the Salt River

Thursday was a record day. No, really! The mercury topped off at 118 in Phoenix, setting a record for the hottest day in the last 10 years.

But what better time is there to head to the river to cool off? I headed to the river to spend the day with my mother and a group of friends. We had a great time paddling down the river for a few hours.

I don’t get to see my mother often because of our schedules, but I always love planning a day on the water with her. She loves kayaking and plans a trip down the Colorado River each year with a local group.
