The Du’Mor’ packrafting route starts in the Dunoir near Dubois and finishes on the Buffalo Fork River near Moran, Wyoming. The route links three wilderness rivers by crossing three high mountain passes (including the continental divide) through the most remote country in the contiguous 48 states.
On July 6-11 2013, Michael Fiebig, Jim Harris, Forrest McCarthy, Andrew McLean, and Moe Witschard completed the 97-mile route through Wyoming’s Washakie and Teton wildernesses.
here’s a cool experience that’ll make you smile and get a little sad at the same time.
Thought seriously about loading this caribou in my PR-49 and taking it for a joy ride to brighten the mood…but decided against it.

New River Gorge, West VA. July 2013. 12,000cfs, whitewater Class I-III.
Good times on the river. Mostly big wave trains, although I did go over a 4ft pour over at Brooks Falls and got thrown around on a hydraulic ten feet down. Unfortunately my camera was turned off for that. Here’s the blog: http://wp.me/p3UCU3-2K

The Torres del Paine National Park, located in southern Chilean Patagonia, encompasses a mystical landscape of granite walls and spires, chaotic glaciers, windy lakes, and numerous rivers, cascades, and waterfalls. The trekking route that circumnavigates the park’s centerpiece the Cordillera del Paine is celebrated worldwide. Packrafts can be used to expand and enhance the legendary Torres del Paine Circuit and allow further exploration of this primeval and iconic landscape.
In addition to paddling the Rio Paine as part of the Torres del Paine Circuit. Amy and I utilized our packrafts to descend the Rio Grey and Rio Sarrano Rivers to the Seno de Ultima Espanza and the Pacific Ocean, creating a world-class packrafting route we nicknamed the “Grande q.”

A five day whitewater trip down the Clarence River in New Zealand’s South Island. See the Australian/New Zealand section for more info.
Hiked our way in for the first packraft descent of the beautiful Snake Indian River in Jasper National Park, Alberta, Canada. Snake Indian Falls is a 394 foot drop but we pulled out in time. A cold, wet and snowy weekend in June, but well worth it.
Packrafting adventure in Baja Mexico. We got to sail, snorkel, fish, camp, and had an awesome time!
