The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so better not forget that rivers here are not as easy as elsewhere. The Olympic Mountains scenery is wonderful. This is a pretty decent length section, you can easily run it on an afternoon. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. | |
