Does anyone have recent beta about any of the North Cascade Rivers (Cascade, Bacon Creek, etc)?

ran cascade last summer and it was clean. nobody's been on it this year. don't forget about the NF Sauk...much easier than Cascade, fun Class IV+, and running medium as of today. pretty clean as of last year, but who knows this year....

Cascade has been run this year, sounds like it's good to go, at least at high flows.

Always be careful about wood on the Cascade. I once ran it on a saturday and on sunday there was a river wide log near the Shark's Tooth. This was in the summer. Also realize that there may be some rebar deep in the right cheat line at Bridge Wreck. Don't swim there. I recommend running the main line there after talking to someone who helped pull the bridge out.....

MORE RAIN PLEASE
