Whitewater Forum : NF Sky Redux

Professor Paddle · Washington, Oregon and vicinity

Author: Jason OrangeSubject: NF Sky ReduxPosted: 22 Feb 2016 at 1:32pmWe hiked into the NF Sky yesterday 02.21.16. This time we put in at Rooster Tail. The flow was a bit low, but we still had plenty of fun. The 4-5 mile hike wasn't too bad either. We hiked the "trail" closest to the river to get around the washout.
