Devil’s Canyon of the Susitna River, Alaska

Scouting Devil’s Creek Rapid was one of the more intensive scouts I have ever been a part of. There is no one place you can see the entire rapid, but as we made our way downstream along the left bank, watching the previously wide Susitna begin to choke down all 26,300 CFS, you knew something significant was happening around the corner.

Video: Cispus River, Washington

The Cispus River is a little piece of paradise tucked away in a remote gorge in the mysterious, magical, sasquatch infested forests between Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier. While a trip to this river is easily done in an afternoon, one does not go to the Cispus on a schedule, resulting in a phenomenon known …

Video: Little White Salmon – Low Side of Good

Typically once the Ldub gets below around 2.8 or so, most people stop going out there. We start running the Truss and the Cispus, and save Little White laps for next season. But this year, once it reached the end of summer, everything was pretty dang low, and on a nice hot sunny day, we …

Lower Lewis Falls Huck Session, WA

Lower Lewis falls is a sweet park and huck 40 footer I had been wanting to run all summer, but had not worked out until it dropped out. Luckily we had some early fall rain, bringing it back into a prime level for a day. Chris Stafford and Chris Morelli were easy to rally to …
