Tshletshy Creek Trip

ReporterBrett Barton

Ryan Scott and I hiked into Tshletshy over the 4th of July weekend 2011. We spent 2 days hiking and 2 days boating. It was a fantastic adventure through pristine old growth forest. Plenty of game tracks all along the way. We found the hiking and scouting to be not-too-scary and the whitewater to be some of the best in the state. On that note, I would recommend doing this trip for the adventure, not the whitewater. It is awesome. Plenty of wood as any OP run goes. And the canyons... Timing is critical for good spring time flows. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy this special place you've worked so hard to get into. And bring extra food!!

Here are a couple of links to our trip...
