Pilchuck Hike In Trip at 1200 cfs - Nick Borelli
Mar 3, 2017
Ran on 3/3/2017. ATVs can no longer get up this old road due to washouts. The first one is just over a mile in. So if you are running this run, you are hiking in. Nick Borelli and Steve Munk hiked in with Pack boats...flow about 1200 cfs and rising. The dam is a deathtrap...don't even think about it. Easy portage left.
Spring Hike in Trip to Explore Pilchuck River at 1100 cfs - Thomas O'Keefe
Apr 8, 2001
Omar Jepperson, Russ Reed, and Thomas O'Keefe hiked in using carts for our boats. A number of ATV enthusiasts were out on the road too. We found one very cool canyon but it was short and took a lot of effort to get there. We portaged the dam on river left. Image from digital video footage.
