Trip Report

Reporterjason Emerson

If you're planning on running Glade Creek in Raleigh make sure you leave enough time and daylight for scouting and portaging. There is some wood in nearly every rapid. We had 4 mandatory portages, one mandatory monkey crawl, and two pins on logs. What normally takes us 1:45-2 hours took 3. When you go take a saw, a rope and your 'A' game.
