I have some frineds coming into town that want to go rafting. Being that everything is essentially done here are there any good BC/Oregon options within 4-5 hours of Seattle? Either overnight stretch of river or a day trip with camping nearby woudl be great. Thanks!

We have all of our own gear so it will be a private trip. How are glows on white salmon for rafting?

Yeah- your average White Salmon guide worth his or her salt has no problem with the low water lines all the way as low as 1.5 or 1.25'.

Not being as familiar with the run, you may get hung up a bit. There are several spots where the prefered move is to angle away from where you are trying to go and back paddle your crew to tuck your stern into a micro eddy, then reach into that eddy and stern draw the ass end of your boat laterally. Works pretty good and I can think of at least four places where that is commonly done:
-the entrace to Undercut Cave
-the entrance to Boulder Garden
-the entance to Grasshopper
-the approach to Corkscrew

Anyway, still plenty fun to drop Hussum Falls all the way to 1' on the guage, just try to stay off that "boof flake" and gut the maw a bit more as it gets low. Practice the "get down" drill with your crew. Its the only drop I ever ran where the guide absolutely must hang on in order to stay in the boat. You can always spot the "out of town" rafters when they run Hussum because they don't put as much prep time into making sure their crews practice the "get down".

There's some advice from a former White Salmon guide, yours to do with what you wish.
