If you prefer to spend your free time outdoors rather than stuck in a cubicle, there's a good chance the opportunity to ride whitewater rapids has presented itself. We own kayaks and enjoy making the occasional river journey around our region. We've also enlisted some guidance for more intense Class IV and V rapids in the past. Neither would deem us even close to qualified to take on the Stikine (Canada, US). When 35 people riding the river in one year produces the tag "Year of the Stikine" for heavy traffic, you know it's not for everyone.
As presented in this video the Stikine is often considered the Everest of whitewater. It can be compared to Devil's Canyon of the Susitna (AK) or Turnback Canyon on the Alesk (Canada, US). Pro Kayaker Rafa Ortiz gives you the opportunity to experience the Class V+ river, and the deadly challenges it presents. The Stikine valley looks like amazing terrain, but not one which we want this view from quite yet. Watch the video and experience the Stikine for yourself.
