Description
The Bear River springs to life in the upper reaches of the Uinta Mountains and takes a circuitous route for 350 miles before emptying into the Great Salt Lake. Join your instructor--a seasoned long-distance paddler--for a kayak adventure along the Bear, the longest river in North America whose waters never reach the ocean. Paddlers will get a chance to witness an incredible riparian landscape consisting of old-growth cottonwood, plentiful historic sites, and a litany of birds and animals that call the Bear River Valley home. Paddlers should be comfortable on class I moving water and be familiar with basic paddling strokes and safety.
