Kayakers

It is not uncommon for kayakers to be surprised by a pod of whales.

Often curious, harbor seals will watch people walking along the shore or follow divers or kayakers in the water.

Today, kayakers and canoers love to run the rapids of the South Platte River, which flows through the shadows of Denver's skyscrapers.

Today the C&O Canal, the ditch, its locks, lock houses, aqueducts and towpath, is a national park, a playground for joggers, hikers, bikers and kayakers.
