The Lofoten Islands are a surreal seascape of soaring, snow-speckled peaks rising steeply from deep fjords, white sand beaches, and aquamarine bays. Amidst this natural splendor are historic fishing villages, small cities, and picturesque farms - all bathed in 24-hour daylight during summer months and forever changing in the moody weather of the islands’ Arctic location. It’s a kayaker’s dream destination. Dan York will share images and stories from two kayaking expeditions he has led to these magical islands, the first in 2017 and the second in 2023.

Wild western whitewater rivers are the stuff of paddling dreams. They offer river runners the chance to paddle multiple days through spectacular landscapes of mountains, canyons, forests, and deserts. In this presentation Dan York will share images and experiences from multi-day kayaking trips he has taken over the past two decades down a wide variety of western rivers. His presentation will inspire you to seek out your own western adventures and guide you on how to make your own western paddling dreams come true.
