I feel like there’s few places in the world where one can see such wild beauty! The day started with glassy waters to gently glide ourselves into this magical world. A great blue heron greeted us followed by a flock of Canadian geese. When we came upon the island we paused for a graceful deer and were stopped frozen by a bobcat going for a morning stroll. I thought they were going to be our wildlife highlights but, no, there were more creatures to behold. We counted 6 new baby seals touching noses and fins with there mommies on shore. On the way back from our lovely lunch on the beach two giant salmon swam on both sides of our boats leading our way home. It just doesn’t get much better than this!

What a fun group of girls and super tough. We had the windiest day I’ve ever seen and they braved the winds and refused to give up. We made it to the beach and were very proud of ourselves. Rock on sisters!

We had a wonderful group of enthusiastic hikers. Lunch was beautiful and they all enjoyed it. We saw precious baby fawns with their mother and a grey fox trotting by. The views were breathtaking and the breeze was such a relief at the top of the mountain.

We had the perfect weather to taste amazing wines in the Alexander Valley. Lunch Rocked nice and tasty giving us fuel for our exciting adventure down the Russian River. We saw many blue herons, and a momma duck with her 22 baby ducklings, swimming much faster than we could paddle.
