"That passage through the Lower Canyon was the sort of thing that comes to a man perhaps once in a lifetime - if he's lucky. The scenery is the finest on the Nahanni, and the weather was perfect - clear, with cold nights and blazing hot days. And it was all strange and new: rounding a bend was like turning a page in a book of pictures; what would one see, this time, and would this next reach hold, perhaps, some insuperable obstacle?"

R.M. Patterson from "Dangerous River - Adventure on the Nahanni"


The following pages chronical the adventures of 14 lucky souls who floated down the Nahanni River in Canada's North West Territories on August of 2003. To all those who visit, we welcome you. To those that were there, remember.
