Why your hiking app alone isn't necessarily the best guide:

Plenty of opportunities for guided kayaking trips!

We won't be doing any more this summer, but I highly encourage you to check this out and see more of the canyon with the Bighorn Canyon park rangers.

Bighorn Canyon is again offering a guided kayak program on Bighorn Lake.
Programs will be held on the south district of the lake, near Lovell, WY. The programs cover proper paddling techniques, self-recovery of a capsized kayak, general safety precautions, and fun facts about
Bighorn Canyon presented by park rangers.

These excursions will be offered free of charge on a first come, first served basis for up to 10 participants. Up to 5 participants with their own equipment are welcome to join for a total of 15. All participants must call ahead and register with Bighorn Canyon NRA.

To register for programs call the Bighorn Canyon NRA Visitor Center at 307-548-5406.

All trips are subject to cancellation at the guide’s discretion. Registered participants will be informed if there is a cancellation. If you must cancel your reservation, please do so as soon as possible to allow us time to fill the vacancy. The park always has a waiting list for kayak programs.

Couple edits to the calendar...

The Navigation "Deep Dive" class is getting moved to July 27 (rescheduled from the 20th) to learn all about topographic maps, using a compass, and orienteering, and we'll spend some time wandering around Powell confusing the tourists. 6 spots still open for this one!

Kayaking event got canceled!

The Foraging class still has TWO MORE SPOTS open... And they're gonna go fast it seems! We only have room for 11 people, so please RSVP using the link below.

Schedule everything in advance here --> https://WTXMtnFitness.as.me/

(Cash is also accepted and encouraged! Just send me a message/email to reserve your spot)

Remember, all our fabulous FB followers get a 20% off code to check out one of my classes: JULYFB20

If you plan on attending this, I'm sure you won't be told about how to avoid/deal with rattlesnakes (a guy literally just got bit here on Monday and I probably almost stepped on the same one), or the amount of water that you will need to get to the top and back, nor the average elevation gain over the 4 miles.

But that's okay, I just posted a video for this not 4 days ago, so that should be helpful.
Shame I didn't post a video before the kayaking trip you guys just did.

✨Exciting news, adventurers! ✨

We have another guided hike to the beautiful Heart Mountain and we'd love for you to join us. Join us at Club Dauntless-Powell at 6 AM to caravan to the trailhead together! Remember, no dogs are allowed on this hike!

Secure your spot through our app or by emailing [email protected].

Stay informed about all our Dauntless Adventures! Text “ADVENTURE” to (307) 548-2582!

Went to the top of Heart Mountain yesterday morning!

Not exactly a "beginner-level" hike, but certainly worth the effort! It's also a great trail that's easy to get to and is perfect for training for bigger summits 😁

Check it out (and don't forget to 👍and subscribe to the channel!):

July 6, 2024 hike to the summit of Heart Mountain, between Powell and Cody Wyoming. Average time to complete is about 5 hours, 8 miles round trip. BRING LOTS...
