Photos of access sites for Tumwater Canyon.

Rafts sometimes run the last mile of class IV in Tumwater Canyon and continue on through Leavenworth.

Nice video of running POW at 9K cfs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XIiWOKK-Pg&feature=share .
Pretty beefy, pretty tight line.

The Tumwater Dam was constructed from 1907 to 1909 was the largest hydroelectric project in the American West when it was built. It provided power for electric locomotives running on the Great Northern Railway through the tunnel at Steven's Pass. The project was closed in 1956 but the dam remains. The fish ladder visible in the foreground was constructed in 1987.

Chris B stylin' the many moves required to do a good line through The Wall.
Chris F flying through one of the drops in The Wall.
Jim Trhreading his way down The Wall.
Ron T., running the Wall twice as he waited for others. He also ran it the day before. Me thinks he likes this one!
This is the view looking from downstean at the entry coming into the Wall. Front to back: Ron, Jim, Lanson, Chris B, Chris F

Having never run this before, but two in our group have done it many times, I got out to shoopt piocs and this video. So when I got up to the lip, it was pretty lonesome. It's a long waaayyyy down from the lip! What a trip!
One of many of the drops in 'The Wall' requiring some nice precision paddling.
Here goes Chris's run off the dam. Not sure if it is legal, BUT there are no signs as yet, so if you got what it takes, go for some fun!
