Similkameen Canyon run, a 40 km spectacular. Very pumpy water!! Committing.


Similkameen Canyon run is inescapable through all the harder canyons at high water.

This one needed a scout, some we could not scout!!

Chris takes a huge grade 5 down the central line. Big holes to miss!!!!

A more scenic and benign run on the Chehalis River, B.C., Canada

Statlu Creek run into the Chehalis.

Back to big water on the Chilliwack Canyon

From Chilliwack we returned to Washington for a run on the Sauk River to finish.
A great trip with great water levels.
