Trip Reports
Log in to add a reportTree down blocking river with no opportunity to portage around. We had to climb over which proved a little difficult with the strong water flow. Otherwise it was a nice ride front 5 Forks Trickum to Hwy 78. No other blockages. Parking was a challenge. Areas to park was not clear.
