It is really crummy weather today and the rivers are cold. We are in Golden BC sitting in a cafe across from the Kicking Horse river.
So far we have made our way down from Jasper. Highlights include:
Fraser River: Nice class 3 wave trains with once class 5 (not runnable in a playboat at low levels). Beautiful scenery and blue water.
Kananaskis River: Class 3 all the way with nice play holes and gates for river running practice. Probably the best beginner river I have ever seen.
Kicking Horse River: Continuous class 4 with big water (cold). Easy shuttle and take out (especially with local raft guides). Did I mention cold??
We plan on running all three sections today if the weather treats us better.
Kicking Horse Mountain Biking: We did a half day yesterday and plan to do a full day tomorrow. I think I have a new addiction!! Solid downhill trails from easy to aggressive. .... really aggressive.
.......a couple Nine Inch Nails concerts along the way were pretty fun too!!
See you soon,
Mikey & Jo
