Elbow River Alberta

Over the pincher creek festival weekend I managed to tick off a number of runs. One being the Elbow falls section of the Elbow river, which is conveniently just 45 minutes outside Calgary. So after finishing up work and rallying down to meet the crew we managed to make the most of a beautiful spring evening here in Alberta Canada.

The Elbow river can be run at a multitude of levels, but at the moment is is rocking a cool medium to low, but it makes for a lot of fun either way. We managed to catch the sun just at the right time so it stayed warm the whole way down, and even allowed enough light to rally the final slide boater-cross style a few times.

The elbow is definitely one to check out and is just another example of what Alberta offers the paddling world.... click here for more pics....
