The 2025 Green River Canoe Trip was a fun paddling adventure through Canyonlands National Park along the beautiful sandstone walls of Stillwater Cayon to the confluence of the Colorado River. This 55-mile-long river trip was with a St. George’s Episcopal Church Men’s group out of Nashville, TN.
In 2024 Mary and I did our second trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon in Idaho through the Salmon-Challis National Forest. Another fantastic journey down the Middle Fork.
During the summer of 2019 I was invited to join a group going back to Ecuador for some more winter whitewater kayaking and of course I couldn’t turn that down. This post does cover a few more topics other than Ecuador. Life after the Grand Canyon – (Wyoming, Oregon, Ecuador and More)
Once is just never enough when it comes to the Colorado River and the Grand Canyon! Read the blog for another two-week journey through the Canyon with some great and longtime paddling friends. It was truly a magical adventure in the canyon again.
Mary and I did a trip down the Middle Fork of the Salmon in Idaho through the Salmon-Challis National Forest. It’s the largest contiguous wilderness area in the Continental United States. After spending more than a week there, and paddling on the Middle Fork of the Salmon, we also headed east just a bit to the mountains and rivers in Wyoming and Montana. The Tetons, Yellowstone National Park and surrounding areas will always remain close to our hearts after spending many summer seasons working there back in our younger years.
Enjoy our blog post from 2017 where we spent several days exploring Nepal and the Kathmandu area before embarking on an eight-day trip kayaking, rafting and camping down the Sun Kosi River.
Originating near Mount Shisha Pangma in Tibet, the Sun Kosi translated in English means the ‘River of Gold’. It runs eastward through Nepal draining most of the eastern portion of the Himalayas. From the put-in at Dolalghat to the take-out at Chatra in far-eastern Nepal, the warm water of the Sun Kosi surges, snakes and winds its way through 270km of some of Nepal’s most remote countryside. At the right flow this river journey is an incredible combination of exhilarating whitewater, beautiful scenery and glorious evenings on white sandy beaches. It is truly breathtaking and backed by its popularity is considered by many to be one of the world’s 10 classic river journeys.
It’s quite an experience to begin a river trip, barely 60 kms from the Tibetan border, and end the trip looking down the hot, dusty gun barrel of the North India Plain just 8 days later. ~ Makalu Adventure Group
In 2013 the opportunity came up to kayak down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon for two weeks and we took it! What an EPIC river adventure it turned out to be!
