Packraft daytrip from Eightmile

Epic river beauty here! A few of us packrafters hiked in from the confluence/take-out up to Eightmile for a daytrip before the weather turned. The Class II/III rapids were pretty non-stop but nothing super technical; mostly wave trains. The water is gorgeous - no wonder it's the  cover of Luc Mehl's packrafting bible.
