Tales from the Cripps: The Grand Canyon with Orin and Rowan Gartner

Will Berger
Orin and Rowan Gartner made their first descent down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon in kayaks last June and July. At age 10, Rowan tied Bodie Hilleke's record for the youngest known kayaking descent down the Grand Canyon. Orwin, at age 14, also made an impressively young descent. The flow for the trip was around 20,000 cfs, considered a high flow for the run. Listen to their stories and fun times!
