Snow is disappearing in Colorado, but you still need 4WD to reach the South Platte River shore at Evans Riverside Park. I shot this picture with Pentax Optio W10 when climbing with Thunderbolt-X kayak through snowdrifts on the tall river bank. It was after a short paddle above Evans.
I have not paddled for more than 3 weeks because of my bad cold or cold winter conditions. It feels good to return back to life. I choose to paddle in early afternoon with temperatures in upper 40s. I often paddle later trying to catch a better light for photography, but uploading a kayak after sunset with a rapidly dropping temperature is not a fun when you are recovering from a cold.
