Throughout the week your guides will take you through great whitewater in some of Washington’s most beautiful places. This river trip is ideal for the experienced kayaker with Class III-IV boating skills and a solid/proven roll. Your paddling skills will be put to the test as you navigate around and through some exciting water features.

If you’re into big water and a thrilling whitewater adventure, then spring and early summer rafting are for you! Nearly all of Washington’s paddling is on snow-melt rivers, and river flows are at their most exciting levels when the spring thaw begins. River levels drop a bit once summer temperatures arrive, so if you’re hesitant, select from our summer/fall trip dates. This trip is generally available from mid-May through September, subject to water levels.
