Ran the lower Naches with my wife from Nile to the HWY 12 bridge in a double IK at 2700cfs. River was fairly rowdy in spots for an IK, definitely solid Class III in places. Most features can be sneaked except for the old diversion dam remnants. Lots of wood in the river and some nasty log jams that were easy enough to avoid, but high consequence nonetheless. Way fun and not too technical. ~13 miles in 1.5 hours
