We joined some folks who support the work of the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society The Nahanni is probably the most visual stunning place I have ever been. The canyons are spectacular. The wilderness is breathtaking. The paddling is fun, and challenging at times. Mostly we zoomed along with a 10km/hour current doing all the work.
Victoria Falls is twice the height of Niagara Falls, unfortunately the Painted Canyon immediately below the falls went by too fast as I was just getting into paddling through three or four foot haystack waves. It would probably have been better to be in the raft so I could soak up the incredible views.
Our guide Neil Hartling runs Nahanni River Adventures and they were amazing. We had primerib for dinner after a week on the river -- I know it sounds unbelievable, but the folks at NRA are amazing.
