My Big Bad Idea: Trying to CANOE the Grand Canyon; An Online Storytelling w/ Pat Stone
Jan 12 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Online

My Big Bad Idea: Trying to CANOE the Grand Canyon; An Online Storytelling Event with Pat Stone

Join Fairview’s Pat Stone as he spins the frightening, hair-raising, funny (sometimes), and totally spellbinding tale of the time he tried to paddle a canoe down the Colorado River in the glorious, mile-deep Grand Canyon. 14 days, 248 miles, and 96 major rapids—all in the most awe-inspiring spectacle in the 48 states. Pat will take you through the experience so convincingly that you’ll feel like you were there—and, afterwards, be relieved that you weren’t.

Along the way you’ll learn a lot about the weird but wonderful outdoor sport of whitewater paddling, pick up surprising natural lore like the reason creeks run better after the trees lose their leaves, and gain insights into classic local runs like the Rocky Broad (yep, that bony roadside rock jumble right down in Chimney Rock!).
