Methow

Ran the black canyon section yesterday and today for the first time in a 14' raft with a stern-mount frame and five paddles. We drove up from Seattle for the weekend to raft it and it did not disappoint. Would love to come back and do it again at higher flows! Water was around 1550 cfs, and the rocks were out, but if you are experienced reading the water, spotting sleepers, and dodging rocks, it won't be a problem for you. Too much lower and some of the sections might have small shallow parts where getting stuck is unavoidable. Waves were not too much of a challenge, nothing was sticky, but in the black canyon section, we did have some good, splashy action!!
