Snoqualmie, Middle Fork

As the flow drops below 1000 cfs the river becomes much more technical. We made it down at 880 cfs and had a fun time but this will be my last trip before waiting for fall rains to return. Technical boating lacks powerful hydraulics and presents some boatability problems. These low water trips are quantified by hits, stops, drags, and portages. At this flow there were several hits in a few of the rapids. Other rapids had technical moves through rocks that avoided any hits. There were no stops, drags, or portages at this flow.
