Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: JoesKayakSubject: June Multiday TripsPosted: 28 Oct 2016 at 9:58amThe Grande Ronde is a nice run. The upper section, starting on the Wallowa River down to Troy is beautiful with nice camping but mostly class 2 with a couple easier 3s. June can be high water though, so there can still be some nice waves. You can also continue all the down to Heller Bar on the Snake river for a longer tri...

Chit Chat : kayaks on a hitch???

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: fiddleyakSubject: kayaks on a hitch???Posted: 27 Oct 2016 at 9:44pmI asked this question on Boatertalk a few years ago and got some good responses (can't seem to get the search function to work). The issue with boats stacked vertically on a rack is that they will bounce side to side which will put a lot of strain on the trailer hitch. My solution has been to stack boats vertically on a ...

Chit Chat : kayaks on a hitch???

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: MN MikeSubject: kayaks on a hitch???Posted: 27 Oct 2016 at 8:56pmVan question: The adventure van we're looking at (95 chevy G20) is of the super-tall variety with a fiber-glass top, so putting boats up there is going to require some engineering up front and regular bouts of climbing and heavy lifting -- workable, but not ideal. I've seen rigs with racks that set kayaks vertically in the...

Whitewater Forum : June Multiday Trips

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: NateWSubject: June Multiday TripsPosted: 27 Oct 2016 at 3:30pmI read recently that you can do multiday trips on the Klamath river - it's almost all roadside, but apparently pretty remote and the road isn't right on top of the river. http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/state-summary/state/CA/ I don't really know much about it beyond that, but it was mentioned on another forum...

What are some suggestions of multiday rivers within 10 or 12 hours of Seattle? I'm looking for class 3/4 or easier.

It is class 2/3 in the valley but I'm pretty sure the canyon section drops at over 200fpm for several miles. Plus, that would be a brutal hike in. I do know it has been run before. Tom Bath lives!!!
