EAGLE In the old days, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and when one had to walk uphill in the snow in both directions to a kayaking event back in the late 1990s the Jeep Whitewater Festival was a rather simple affair.
On Memorial Day weekend, kayakers gathered in the Vail Village for a few flips, aka the Kayak Freestyle Rodeo, and a keg and then went down to Dowd Junction the next day for some more paddling and probably another keg. That’s it.
