Kayak Competition in Steamboat (Memorial Day Weekend)

The weather on the last day of our trip was great. We went for a hike at Fish Creek Falls and got to watch part of a kayak competition. It was really neat.


We stopped for a photo opt on the bridge at Fish Creek Falls in Steamboat.

The river was really raging. We have never seen it this high before.

We lucked out and got to see a kayak competition. Here is a kayaking contestant on the first part of the course.

Here is another contestant. It was a gnarly course and they were finishing it in about 5 minutes.

Down in town there was a freestyle competition as well. Some of the contestants were pulling all kinds of tricks. Some of them were doing flips and cartwheels.

I really enjoyed watching them. Wow, these guys and gals really have the skills to pay the bills. Posted by Picasa
