The river sparkled under the clear sky, the gentle current offering both tranquility and adventure. Fourteen warriors from the SRU gathered in San Marcos for a day of camaraderie, relaxation and outdoor therapy. As they navigated the winding waters, the warmth of the sun and beauty of the natural surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for reflection and renewal. Wheather paddling through the scenic landscape or simply enjoying the fresh air, the day served as a meaningful escape, a reminder of resilience, and a celebration of strength.

Ben Kvanli, Olympic Outdoor Center owner, provided the kayaks and support. Breakfast and snacks were provided by Wounded Warriors at Nebo. The awesome photos catching incredible moments were taken by David Roberts.
