| Wenatchee |
Leavenworth Link
This trip starts at the
foot of the Cascade Mountains, just outside the
Barvarian town of Leavenworth. The Wenatchee is
noted for having the largest waves in the state (sometimes
over 10 feet high!) and plenty of sunshine.
Despite all its
adrenaline pumping action, the Wenatchee is a
relatively easy river to navigate, making it
suitable for a wide range of skills and ages.
For the most excitement,
catch it at its peak flows! The less aggressive
may want to try it at lower water levels (the
beginning and end of the season) when it is less
intimidating but still plenty of fun!

| Methow |
Pateros Link
This is Similar to
the Wenatchee, only bigger and better! The Methow
originates from the snow-fed slopes of the North
Cascades and flows into the Columbian River. This
spring run s noted for it's warm, sunny climate,
pine forests, and dry sage brush scenery that
looks like it is straight out of a Hollywood
western. Expect big splashes, nonstop action, and
lots of maneuvering on this more advanced run.
Guaranteed to get your
heart racing!

| Suiattle |
Darrington Link
The Suiattle is one of
the best wilderness river experiences in western
Washington.
The Suiattle is largely
fed by the glaciers of Glacier Peak, making it
runnable long after the snow melt rivers have
faded.
The river drops about 30
feet per mile, providing nearly continuous class
III rapids for the first two thirds of the trip.
Then the river slows its
pace, allowing time to take in the spectacular
scenery as it meanders through the various
braided channels finally making its way to the
Sauk River.
A peaceful and
outstanding day!
The Suiattle is rafted
under special use permit issued by the Mount
Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

| Tieton |
Rimrock Link
Looking for a new river
adventure? Give the Tieton a try!
Every September, we
provide a glorious farewell to summer as the
Rimrock Dam is opened, allowing the Tieton to
rage.
Located just 20 miles
east of the summit of White Pass, the Tieton is a
fast action river, dropping over 50 feet per mile.
Unfortunately, the season
is short, usually lasting just two to three
weekends. Don't miss out on this unique river
adventure, make your reservations early!
The Tieton is rafted
under special use permit issued by the Wenatchee
National Forest.
