Snoqualmie, Middle Fork

Took two packrafts on this section of the middle fork. Easy parking and access to both the put in and the pull out site. We were iffy on if we should even attempt this given the gauge was sitting a lower flow than the recommended runnable range. Despite the lower flow, we managed to run the whole section without ever needing to pop out of our boats. That being said I'm sure this river is far more fun at higher flows. Nonetheless the misty mountains made for a spectacular backdrop as one of the prettiest runs near Seattle. The run itself is straightforward, not too much to figure out and not much in the way of  hazards. Most of the braids are fairly obvious to follow and we were able to read-and-run any rapid we approached. At higher flows I imagine it's even easier to run. We definitely had to pick lines carefully as more rocks were exposed in the river at this low of a flow. At this low of a flow, the river can feel slow and meandering, not much current to push you through the flatwater between rapids.  Can't wait to run this again when there's more water in the river!!!
