Nine of our current members + alumni were recently blessed with the opportunity to take on the Colorado River from Lee’s Ferry to Diamond Creek. From January 2nd to the 20th, we kayaked, rowed, and sometimes swam through some of the best whitewater in America. This trip was a year in the making and the thorough prep work done by our fearless permit holder and TL definitely paid off. For the first few nights, temperatures hovered around a balmy 5 degrees. Luckily, the cold *somewhat* relented for the second half of the trip and we escaped the granite prison with all of our toes still attached (and barely any scurvy!). The 226 miles of wide, high-volume water were so different than our usual New England runs but a pleasure to paddle nonetheless.
