We put-in at Alpine Falls. The first part was a little slow (you wouldn't miss much by putting in further downstream where the river nears the road). After portaging a big log jam we came to a section with some great IV/V boulder gardens. We paddled down to the Beckler confluence but not much action beyond the first Hwy 2 bridge that comes shortly after the confluence with the Foss. The Skykomish at Goldbar was at 4000 cfs.
