Beaver Creek Kayak Tours.

Well the 2018 Kayak Tour season here at Beaver Creek is history, it's been a good 2 months. No one went swimming (fell out of their kayak) and the weather was very cooperative with lighter than normal winds and only one day starting in a drizzle.


Here's  an aerial view showing the mouth of Beaver Creek.  The next two shots were taken from the position indicated by the red arrow, looking west or to the left in this view.
