  Dan York



Dan is a lifetime paddler, beginning when he learned canoeing basics with the Boy Scouts. In college he learned whitewater kayaking and has been an avid river runner ever since. While he enjoys all types of paddling, his favorite trips are multiday whitewater runs on wild rivers of the West. Closer to home Dan enjoys kayaking on Wisconsin's many fine whitewater runs as well as flatwater canoeing with family and friends. He has been an active leader and instructor over his long paddling career. Lately Dan's paddling passion has turned to sea kayaking with recent expeditions in far northern Norway.

 Kayaking the Lofoten Islands: Norway’s Craggy Crown Jewels
Caribou - upstairs Sat 10:30am-11:15am 
The Lofoten Islands of Norway 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.

 Running Idaho’s Whitewater Paddling Paragons: The Selway and Salmon Rivers
Caribou - upstairs Sun 10:30am-11:15am 
With over 3500 miles of whitewater rivers, Idaho is a paddler's paradise. Crystal clear waters tumble and flow through pristine forests and deep canyons that echo with the history of its indigenous people and early pioneers. Two of Idaho's rivers, the Selway and Salmon (Middle Fork and Main), offer highly coveted multiday experiences for limited numbers of river runners every year. In this presentation Dan York shares stories and images from multiple trips he's taken on these rivers spanning over two decades and offers guidance on running them.
