Canoeing the Tatshenshini and Alsek Rivers
Loading...
Uploaded by mscantlebury on Sep 16, 2010
A group of paddlers, all members of the Lower Columbia Canoe Club, paddle the Tatshenshini River in 2007 into its confluence with the Alsek River and out to Dry Bay for pick up by a plane. The trip starts in the Yukon, passes through a bit of BC, then finishes in Alaska. We were extremely fortunate with weather, particularly towards the end of the trip. The big peak you see in the video is Mount Fairweather, which is known actually for foul weather and not being seen. This video concentrates mostly on the canoes that went, though we had a Cat and two rafts. Canoes were self support though and carried their personal gear and food.

fantastic shots - i did it a few years ago and it brings back all the memories - got to be one of the best things ever
full of admiration for you canoeing - surely you didnt canoe the first day through the canyon and 4.5 star rapids? wedid it in rafts and it was incredible - i dropped out of the bow when the raft hit a brick wall wave!

Yes, we did run the first day canyon in our canoes. Loaded canoes at that. I'd say the rapids at 2,600 cfs that day were Class 4 at the highest. We boat scouted everything. Some of the earlier photos in the video of canoes in rapids are shots from in the canyon. We'll be up north again this year as well--on the Nahanni.
