Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: ChristianKnightSubject: Sweet 3+/ 4 run Sky Valley. Lower TyePosted: 17 Oct 2016 at 4:38pmUsed to run this all the time when I lived in Skykomish.

It runs very well off snowmelt and not as well off rain, which is why it was low. However, during the spring melt,...

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: outdoorjunkie88Subject: What's ailing Eagle Falls?Posted: 17 Oct 2016 at 10:05amI would think deception falls should be used as an example. Same type of access, but I find this to be a very nice park. Would be a sweet eagle scout project to put up some trash cans, maybe picnic tables. Taking away access isn't a solution.
