Don't furrget about The NF Quinault Gorge either (3 mile gorge above Kitma Cr). To this day, maybe the most impressive canyon/water/scenery I've been through. "Zen of WW" and I were talking about this run recently...he said this gorge was #1 in his book until his Dipper Cr. mission. Big effort to reward ratio on this one. Doesn't seem to get talked about or done that often. Runs off snow-melt June/July. Runs around the same time as The Quinault Gorge, and GC Elwha....all require a comfy pair of hiking shoes. Earn it out there on The OP!
If you ever need beta for NFQ, feel free to contact me.
And then there's Tsletchy(sp?) Cr....maybe the most formidable trip in The OP. Always wanted to get on that.
