Posted by Leonie Sherman | Apr 3, 2019 | Biking, Issue 108, Leonie Sherman |

The first time I drove Highway 50 through Nevada was in January almost a decade ago. The mercury hovered at 18 below. I think we saw four other cars in seven hours. We stopped to gawk at hundred mile vistas of open rangeland and snow-capped peaks without even bothering to pull over.

Mr. Toads

After a century of dams blocking the Klamath River, tribal teens are training to kayak 250+ miles from source to sea in June 2025, reconnecting with their heritage and revitalizing Indigenous stewardship.

As they navigate this powerful watershed, they’re not just paddling — they’re reclaiming tradition and honoring their ancestors.
