Elwha

As of this writing (2/13/2005), about 3/4 of the way down this stretch, below the weir, there's an enormous log dam that is impassable. Portaging is difficult at best due to the braided quality of the river. It took us about an hour and a half to get over and around this thing with a friend, my SOAR 16 and our 3 kids. Very unsafe clambering over the logs with the water running underneath. Another portage, although easier, was required not far below this too. Great run except for the log dams!
