Trip Report

ReporterThomas O'Keefe

We ran on July 7 when Naches at Clifdell was at 2500 cfs. This was a good flow but it could have used a touch more water in spots. We had four wood portages and two limbo logs. All were fairly straightforward and visible from upstream although at least one required quickly scrambling to a small eddy. Great continuous whitewater with no rapids more than class III but wood is in play requiring the occasional class IV move. Spectacular scenery and a great trip--solitude and remote feel with relatively simple logistics (easy put-in and take-out on both ends).
