Check out this link to Olympic National Park's web cams documenting the Elwha River dam removal; the largest dam removal in the history of the U.S. It is intriguing to see the daily changes of both the lowering water levels and removal of the dams.

Adventuring 7 Days a Week!

So you've been wondering what 2010 trips are available and when?? Well, we are now in full swing with all kayaking and mountain biking trips going out everyday of the week. For those of you have joined us in the past you know that we keep the group sizes small and the trips do fill up, that way you get maximum fun! Don't worry if you have a large group, give us a call and we will set up a private trip to meet the goals of your party. Last year our 3 most popular trips were the new full day NW Adventure, the half day kayaking to Freshwater Bay, and half day mountain biking on the Adventure Route.

What's new this year, you ask? With the positive response of folks on the Adventure Route biking trip having a super time, we asked them how we could improve on this trip. The main response was- "I'd like to go biking for the entire day." So there you have it, we now offer a full 20 mile day of riding the rolling hills, sweeps, banks, and turns of the Adventure Route.

Keep in mind that paddlers and pedalers alike can rent kayaks, bikes and even stand up paddle boards for exploring the vastness of Olympic National Park and the Olympic Peninsula. So what are you waiting for, let's go adventuring!

Olympic Peninsula Rivers are Up!

Yes, Olympic Peninsula river kayaking has been a bit dry this winter. But never fear, we know the rains come eventually, and so it has. Kayaking Washington State's Elwha is now an option, last week the river elevated to an intermediate level of 2000 cfs and now today it's still at a great level of 980 cfs. So it is time to get out those river kayaks and go enjoy some Northwest river kayaking. If anyone is looking for river kayaking buddies feel free to post or let us know. There are a few folks looking for paddling buddies particularly on the weekends.
