100 Days of Whitewater

September 20, 2011 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories

Challenges define who we are in life. Whether they are brought about from unforeseen external circumstances or are conjured in the imagination on a snowy night, challenges take us to places that test our character. And the way we respond to these tests ultimately shapes the people we become. In some circumstances, we succumb to […]

April Kayaking

May 3, 2011 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories

The month of April has passed 2011 by, and I’m glad to say that I made it out kayaking quite often despite the low flows. But don’t be fooled, according to the experts (see map at right) we are in for a banner year of river flows. I’ve even heard that the snowpack for the […]

Spring has sprung

April 8, 2011 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories

There is something special about the first boating trip of the year. For me, it seems to come earlier and earlier each year, and prior to this weekend, I had already been on the water 6 days including Confluenza on the South Platte, my adventures in California, and Waterton Canyon. Last year, I kicked off […]

In a Van Down by the River

March 23, 2011 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories, Van

Warm days are beginning to grace us along the Front Range of Colorado and with that comes my annual yearning to get back on the water in my whitewater kayak. Although I have kayaked and owned my van for many years, two years ago I made deliberate choices about both that have had significant positive […]

California Road Trip

March 3, 2011 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories, Technology

It seems that about every two years, I find cause to pack up my car and road trip half way across the country. It first began with my life changing 2 month tour of the West in 1999, then the big move to Boulder in 2001, followed by a quick jaunt to Yosemite in 2003, […]

Costa Rica Kayak Adventure!

December 2, 2010 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories

Tomorrow, I take off for a 10 day whitewater kayaking adventure through Costa Rica! The warm weather will be a welcome break from the cold winter that has begun to descend on Colorado, and it will feel great to get back in my kayak every day after a dry spell with almost no boating. Rain […]

Boulder Creek Kayak Action

June 8, 2010 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories

Boulder Creek finally started flowing last week and I had a few really fun runs on it that were captured on camera by friends on the banks. On Friday, I ran Lower Boulder Canyon for the first time ever at a manageable level of 300cfs. Most of the run was straightforward, but the Elephant Buttress […]

Memorial Weekend Kayaking

June 1, 2010 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories

What better way to kick off meteorological summer than a long weekend of kayaking? A bunch of us headed out to Glenwood Springs over Memorial weekend 2010 to catch the run off on the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers and we had an incredible time! The excitement started early in the trip when the van […]

Confluence Surf Session

April 26, 2010 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories

You might think the South Platte River that runs through downtown Denver is dirty. And you’d be right, which is exactly why I had always avoided kayaking the whitewater drops in Confluence Park. But yesterday, the spring rains had flushed most of the junk way down river (or so I told myself), and the waves […]

Gunny Gorge

September 9, 2009 / Pat Brown / Adventure, Kayaking, Stories

Labor Day weekend in Gunny Gorge. What could be better? I’ll tell you what, not a whole lot. I have to thank Scott for conceiving of and organizing this really cool self-support, overnight kayak trip through Gunny Gorge. In addition to those responsibilities, he also carried all of the group gear and food in his […]
