Snoqualmie, Middle Fork

Put in at concrete bridge and floated down to the power lines in Tanner, flow was just under 5k when we put in and peaked around 5200 just after we got off. I was in a Kokopelli Recon cruising with 6 other hardshells. Whole run was clean of wood, class II section above Island drop was a great warmup. Island Drop and A Frame are pretty easy at this flow, both have pretty easy washed out lines on the left but some fun waves and holes to the river right. We pulled off and scouted the rapid above House Rocks, as this one required some more technical moves at this level but was pretty much just riding tongues between holes and catching the curling waves at the right time. House rocks is pretty fast at these flows but the moves are fairly clean. Both rocks can be skirted river left for the sneak line as long as there's no wood, more meaty lines to the right with some huge holes to avoid and heavy boil lines behind the rocks. A couple more good class III drops below House Rocks that settled down to class II toward the takeout. Whole run took approximately 2 hours with the quick stop to scout. This was my first time on this stretch of whitewater and it has to be my favorite run in the PNW at least at the level we ran it at. Well forested riverbanks with the occasional nice cabin and great nearly continuous whitewater.
