Hey,

New to Seattle from San Francisco and looking for advice on what's running in the next couple of months. Comfortable up to Class IV.

Any info you can offer would be great!

Thank you...

Trail,

Honesty your coming in towards the end of the season. But if there is one thing about Washington you will love ... it's the fact that we don't really have an end to our season. Just new destination areas within the state and surrounding area.

Late summer is a BC wonderland. Most of us will be making trips up to BC frequently. If your looking for some quick local action, the Skykomish continues through the whole year getting boney in late summer but still holding lines well down to 400cfs. The other local favorites are starting to dry up but that one can be counted on for a while still.

Stay tuned and watch for trips on the Chilliwack, Nahatlatch, Thompson, Soo, Cheakamus, Cal-Cheak, Squamish and Ashlu. All BC Favorites that have action in the III-IV range.

Sauk is still running. It is a nice class III+ run near Darrington. We got a trip going Wed night if you are interested.

Sounds good to me. The river should be a pretty easy class III tomarrow if we don't get anymore rain. If you are coming from Seattle you may want to IM Weide (the other guy signed up for the trip) about carpooling.

Hey Trail,

I'm heading up to the Skykomish, our local run, on Thursday night. Give me a call if you want to come.
