Picture this: 15,000 years ago, at the tail end of the Ice Age, the Gauja was no gentle river. A roaring, two kilometres wide flood, deep enough to hide an eight floor building tore through the valley, carving the red-sandstone cliffs you’ll paddle past today. At its peak, the water swallowed about 220 km² of land, which means one square kilometre out of every four in today’s 918 km² park was under foaming, glacier-cold water!
