Jul 26 Social Instagram This is the other side of kayaking. It's so much more than running the stouts and charging as hard as you can. On these overnight trips you get to chill at camp with your good friends and relax. You can look around and enjoy the amazing evening light as the sun fades away and marks the end of your day. I'm super thankful that my dad was able to hike in to the camp at Rattlesnake and enjoy some life styling with us.
