Here are some photos from Eagle Creek, Oregon. The waterfall photos are from Punchbowl and Metlako Falls. I included some as well from the hike up and from the metal "stake" gauge we use right at the trail head. …

I got super lucky last weekend when I went down to visit my brother in Knoxville, it rained. Living out in colorado makes you lazy in watching gauges and weather because the runs are pretty easy to predict when they will have water. The south east is a completely different experience, most of the time you have to wait until the morning your gonna paddle to know what is running. Anyway it was good that my brother lives down there and has it dialed, we got to run the west prong, the raven…

It's been a solid 10 days of kayaking here in Cosa Rica the land of sunshine and amazing rivers. While there are numerous opportunities to paddle all over the country my favorite run so far has been the Rio Pacuare. The Pacuare has a long history of kayaking and rafting in Costa Rica with some of the first companies setting up operations in the early 80's. After spending several days running all the sections I can see why. First off the Pacuare has an amazing amount of whitewater that…

As I sat in the college library distracting myself with a Google image search for “Alabama waterfalls,” I couldn’t believe my eyes. The photos depicted massive punchbowl amphitheatres, overhanging cliff walls, and deep emerald green plunge pools. What I was staring at seemed too good…

After a week of climbing mountains with my mom, it was time to move onto a sport that I have a little more experience with. So after returning to Quito from our Cotopoxi attempt, I headed to the airport to meet the most famous kayaking dentist in Kentucky, Clay Warren, for our week of kayaking and showing him around one of my favorite places in the world . My mom flew out the following morning and Clay and I headed to the Quijos River Valley and the town of Baeza to…

I have to say, if you're going to have to work during the holidays, being in Ecuador isn't the worst place in the world to be. I just returned home from a ten day trip guiding for Adventures by Disney in Ecuador, but before work started, I decided to make the most of my trip south by going two weeks early in search of adventure.
My adventure began with a mountaineering trip with my mom. Neither one of us had…

Although it really doesn't feel like it most days here in the southeast we've officially reached Winter. Winter brings a lot of good things but it can often be a hard time to motivate to go kayaking. After all snow, sleet, winter mix, or rain when its 35 degrees don't really scream "let's go get wet". However if I can get past that some of the best days I've had on the river have been in the Winter. For me it really brings a different feel, it's often super quite and less crowded. Often…

When you're only sharing the river with a few of your long time kayaking friends, communication is smooth and natural and everyone has a great time. Then summer hits and you're sharing the river with hordes of other paddlers or you may be in a large group with guys and gals you don't know. You can definitely still have those good times; as long as no one gets hurt and everyone is on the same page with "proper river behavior".
So it's always good to read a refresher…

Due to the low water levels of Chile we had to hurry up on the todo palguin day. I was the only one this year wanting to try to stomp that beast, luckily It went better than 2 years ago when I boofed it, swam and pretty much ate shit! I had a sweet line and a "soft" landing. Super stoked for that... we then kept going together with Anton and EG all the way to lower palguin running medio and everything except of turbina and brendan's rapid. Todo's palguin are probably one of the stoutest runs…

The PDXkayaker film fest was a success again this year with a large portion of the Portland kayaking scene showing up. The event is hosted by Next Adventure and the task of judging is set upon boaters from the community. I always try to get something edited to submit each year. This year school has been all consuming and I was only able to spend a short time editing, but I made sure to get something up there in an attempt to spark a sense of adventure. The film shows a few clips from my…
