White Salmon

American Whitewater staff Kevin Colburn, Bethany Overfield, Evan Stafford, and Tom O'Keefe joined local board member Megi Morishita for a trip down the Lower Gorge of the White Salmon River. Flow was high but manageable and the run was class III with the exception of Steelhead Falls which we portaged. It was possible to make use of the installed handholds and pass boats over and launch below the second hole downstream of Steelhead Falls. There were a few pieces of wood in play and one log spanning the river that we were easily able to get under as we approached the former Condit Dam site.
