FEATURES


SPECIAL FEATURE: Race to Recreation
Does racing improve the breed? Touring kayakers don’t need to be paddling over 6 knots to pick up some useful tips from competitive paddlers. Racers’ quest for speed is really just a study in the efficient use of energy.
by Joe Glickman

Destination:
Southwest Lake Powell
With Lake Powell at its lowest levels in 35 years, the canyons are deeper, the cliffs higher and the scenery even more dramatic. Three canyons on the Utah/Arizona border offer kayakers easy access and memorable cruising.
by Lori Lee

A Rite of Passage: Finding a Way into the Wilderness
A team of nine kayakers share a dream of paddling a thousand miles of the Inside Passage from Vancouver to Juneau. For two of them, coming ashore is the hardest part.
by Karen Darke
