Interest in 2 day Kananaskis River Trip
Well the season is about finished. Rivers are getting really low and the snow is finally about gone from the mountains. BUT I am not ready to give up paddling this season, so I want hit the Kan for a couple of days on a weekend trip. It will probably be a Friday and Saturday session. If you have an interest in going please let me know. Just leave your comments and a possible weekend that you can go. It will probably be around mid-late August!

Just so people know... the Kan is a Class II/III playboating river!!!
Its about a 45 minute paddle STRAIGHT through, but if you plan to surf and play then it can take up to 3-5 hours. All depending on how much playing you do!
That sounds like FUN!! I would be up for it maybe the 15-16 weekend or even the next weekend but it would be the Sat and Sun which is the 23-24. So lets make this happen! Troy
I might be interested in coming along, I'll get back to you on this.
The kicking horse is still flowing at a very strong medium. The Main Fork of the Flathead is also at a low medium. I may be into iether of those as well, say Aug 7 or 8.

... for the kanaskis trip....
Hey paddlerz,
We've been busy with work out in BC, Montana & Idaho - lots of paddlable rivers to the west.
Elk is always good - lower Elk canyon will be a II+ with the first boulder garden (Roller Coaster) at III or III+ and Horizon Line a single hit III+.
For a treat, the Main Flathead from Kerr Dam down is a warm, big-water III with a super surf-wave (Eagle) and the final bigger rapid (Buffalo)is usually III+ or IV.
We were along the Kootenay and saw a number of Alberta cars with boats at the Kootenay Falls section. Falls are a serious hit and the reach below has about 4 IV's in 1.5 km - very considerable. Excellent flows right now.
Bull canyon should still go but it'd be getting low (III+).
Upper White's low (III).
and lots more!
Go west,
Stew & Di
I'm heading South next week. Anyone wanna hook up for the Kerr Dam paddle?
So things haven't panned out too well for paddling the kan this month, but we could shoot for the 30th? I might no tbe able to do much more than 1 day, but we will see when we get closer!!! If possible it would be the 29th and 30th, but as of right now just the 30th!
