Packraft Trip
| Reporter | Chris R |
| Gauge Reading | 4370 cfs at SKAGIT RIVER AT NEWHALEM, WA |
Did this section yesterday on packrafts; yesterday flow gage said 4370; today it says 4130; either way, it was easily floatable the whole way with no pull-overs. We did stop to scout the S-bends before hitting them, as the wave train looked pretty significant, but there was an easy line to take and we had no troubles. Even if one wanted to ram the wave train, the whole river seems super safe (albeit COOLLLDDD), so I wouldn't even worry about just gunning it for fun. There was no wood we had to be concerned about the whole run.
