    you do get some distance, it's good length for a morning trip. The beauty of the Olympic Mountains is a great plus for this river. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're
all set. The average Washington whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master than those in other states, so better not forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere.
