Do you happen to know what CFS it was when you ran it ? or the date, I'm guessing just before you made this video "Jun 21, 2023" looks like a perfect time to run it !!! My girlfriend was doing field work up in the Olympics from that river a few summers ago, they got fully smoked out from the fires and had to bail. I was totally concerned so a friend and I backpacked a resupply up the trail to meet them as they were hiking out. First time up that way, I'll never forget how gorgeous the upper river was!!

We ran it on June 17, 2023 and on paper it was really low. American Whitewater does that section in feet instead of cfs and all of us were slightly worried the flow rate wouldn't work out. But it did end up being just about perfect, the last 1.5 miles we were butt scraping but all the rapids were prime!

Where did you put in at?

[@SummitForWellness]

Oh geez now I gotta try to remember. We finished at Dosewallips State Park, and put in 7 or so miles up? I believe it was on NF-2620
