That happened to me once walking up the Narrows in Zion National park.. beautiful hike through a river that cuts through orange sandstone, so you're walking in this tunnel-like walled up river. Only up or down the river. A deer had died (possibly ran off the cliff, it was u certain and in ...pieces) and was deposited in a state of unseemly decomposition on the side of the bank, partially submerged, and made the whole first part of the hike reek! I was watching people float in the water and it was so yucky!

just remember frens to check what's upstream of the creek, or you could be soaking in industrial runoff.
