See the Water and Sky Turn Golden (and get a workout)
We paddle out during weeknight and weekend evenings for the sweetest colors of the sky: peach, lavender, and blood orange. We feel relief, relaxation, and camaraderie during this destination-free workout on the river. We cover 2-3 miles. If this trip is easy for you, try Intermediate tours with longer distances.
