My first field segment as an outdoor adventure expert for Afternoon Live covered kayaking. In Part 1, I talk about my favorite spots to go paddling in the Portland area. In Part 2, we get in the water for an introductory overview of how to get started kayaking.
My latest appearance on Afternoon Live was about outdoor getaways for the long weekend: hiking, kayaking, skiing, cycling – something for everyone! Click here to watch the segment.
The Rogue River in southern Oregon is one of the original 8 to be included in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968. Last week I spent 4 days and 3 nights rafting and kayaking it as part of assignment for Northwest Travel Magazine. The trip, courtesy of Rogue Wilderness Adventures, was almost indescribably beautiful and inspiring. Which is bad news if you’re a travel writer. This picture is a particularly scenic spot called Mule Creek Canyon. You can click on the photo for a larger view.
As part of an assignment for Northwest Travel Magazine, I went kayaking on Coldwater Lake near Mt St Helens this week. Kayaking on a lake near a volcano is always cool, but this one will be extra special. Northwest Eco Excursions are the first and only folks that can take you on a kayaking trip of that lake since Mt St Helens erupted 32 years ago! Click photo for larger view.
