Packraft on the Cowlitz

Awesome little hour and 15 minute run from La Wis Wis to around Packwood (We took out maybe a mile above the bridge at a private residence) Overall the canyon section was amazingly beautiful, one small portage about 5 minutes into the float. See pictures. Class II little wavetrains and gravel bar runs made the trip interesting but not spicy. Would go back and do again especially if the mountain is out!
