Snoqualmie, Middle Fork

I found the section above Dingford Creek was more stout at 1,500 cfs than expected. The rapids were complex, fast, and continuous with numerous boulder seives, manky lines, some wood, and limited recovery areas. I made several portages without much difficulty and thought the run was more challenging/consequential than most of our IV+ runs in the region (Cooper, China Gorge, Lower Icicle, Horshoe Bend, CC Lewis). It was flat-out gorgeous and a great adventure, but fair warning the rating of II-III(IV) does not apply above Dingford Creek, IMHO. Wish I had my camera with me because Lost Keys is one of the most photogenic rapids I have ever seen.
