Itinerary

Itinerary description:

We do take time for scouting or portaging the more difficult rapids. These rivers require competent river maneouvring in C2-3 rapids in a couple of locations, though water levels should be easing off by April 22-24. There will be some portaging, and scouting can be difficult.

Required Items to Bring:

Fully outfitted WW boat with airbags including a center bag, throw ropes, long grab loops, whistles. Full body wet/dry suits & Helmets. Lunches. A barrel with extra warm clothes.
We carry a SATPhone, WFA kit, survival gear.
