Exuma Bahamas trip report 2020 By Tracy and Janet Hays This is an account of our 8 day, 75 mile paddle of the cays at the NW end of Exuma, Bahamas.  If you are inspired to go (reading and hearing others adventures is what inspires me) your first decision to make is, whether you are…

Dear RMCC members, Given these difficult times, we thought you might enjoy a Journey at Home series with your fellow RMCC club members.  We know this journey is only virtual, but hopefully we will be back on the waters soon.  Click here to see the Journey at Home – the Grand Canyon.

Redrock Lake to Kugluktuk  8/1/19 – 8/18/19 By Mat Bozek Relentless wind could describe this trip in two words.  I was expecting it to be windy, with wind out of the North, and I was expecting a lot of rain and a lot of bugs – got all of that. I wanted to do an…

November 12-23, 2019 by Tracy Hays A group of Rocky Mountain Canoe Club members and a few guests paddled these two southern delights in late November.  The Swamp is in South Georgia, and the Suwanee is in North Florida.  Both places deserve a place in every paddlers bucket list.   I think everyone had a pretty…

July 20, 2019 By Bill Ashworth Our annual North Platte River Glendo to (almost) Guernsey saw 11 paddlers up against a 7500 cfs release from the Glendo Dam. And all but 1 came out of the standing waves upright (but no names). The inevitable train across the Cottonwood Creek take-out road finally happened but the…

Sunday, June 9th, 2019 By Kathryn Mutz Standley Lake is a multi-use recreation and water-storage facility, and is the drinking water supply for Westminster, Northglenn, and Thornton. With 1,063-acres of surface area, Standley Lake is Westminster’s largest body of water. It is also the Denver metropolitan area’s third largest reservoir.  And it is a darn nice place…

By Bill Ashworth June 1, 2019 This Saturday’s trip was originally slated for Gross Reservoir above Boulder but that reservoir was very low (over 70 feet below the full level) so we switched to McIntosh Lake in Longmont instead. We’ll do Gross later in the summer once it’s filled. Fair weather brought out 11 paddlers…

By Bill Ashworth, Trip Coordinator For probably the 10th consecutive year, hardy paddlers from RMCC canoed the Niobrara in North Central Nebraska at Memorial Day. A typical trip in most regards (lovely campground, gorgeous river canyon, flowing waterfalls, SOME rain) we did have unusually high water. The historical average for this weekend is about 900…

May 17th to 19th, 2019 By Mat Bozek I like doing the White River.  It is remote and wild after you get past the first 8 miles or so of ranches and homes.  Except for one very large group camped a mile or so below Bonanza bridge, we saw no one at all except one…
