I'll chime in on the Raging since I'm pretty familiar with the run.

It's a strange little run and I don't really recommend it for up and coming boaters... None of the rapids are really that difficult, but wood is always an issue. Basically it's a class 3 run that requires class 4 skills to be safe. It doesn't get run a lot because of that... basically if you have the skills to do this run, you will most likely find a real class IV run more fun.

I would +1 JPs comment to hold off for now. Work your way into other class 3 runs like the Middle Middle Snoqualime, SF Stilly, NF Nooksack and then add the Raging to your quiver when you're comfortable on runs like that and have more experience dealing with wood hazards.

Another run I'd suggest checking out is the middle run on Canyon Creek in the SF Stilly drainage. Easy 1/2 mile walk in and then 4-5 miles of quality class 2 and 2+ similar in character to SF Snoqualmie.

JoesKayak -

Yeah - I have done the Canyon Creek 2+ run.

That little class 3 section above the SF Snoqualmie (Twin Falls) sounds good too. Never done it but want to soon.

Some of these runs though, really tame quite a bit at lower levels, including the Raging, which hardly ever is even runnable because it is always too low.

Thanks for the input.

Considering it's "headwaters" is comprised of Rattlesnake Ridge, Tiger, and Taylor, you won't find any spring run off in the Raging.  Definitely a winter rain fed run.  Most of the other options listed above will have some semblance of spring run off - some earlier, some later depending on drainage elevations, associated snow pack, and weather. 

Love the suggestion of middle Canyon Creek.  I haven't done that in years.  I wonder if that really weird house is still there?  Also, I've heard rumors that you can drive up Green Mountain road to access this section further up, adding a few more miles of class II+ / easy III.

We used to call the Raging the "monday" river because it only seemed to have water in it on a Monday when no one could boat.

Whats up all you crazy kayakers!

Just thought I'd extend an invitation for some crazy whitewater shinanigans to celebrate my upgrade to 4.0 this Saturday. I think "over the mountain" is more appropriate then "over the hill" because hills are boring and you can't kayak down the river on the other side and stuff!

So let me know if ya'll want to come out and do some boatin and drink some beer!

I'll post the local later this week when water levels determined. If this dry spell keeps up, probably sky down to B.E. so we have plenty of room for cars and can hang out for a while after.
