Jason,
Thanks for the info. I also would highly
recommend the Nahatlatch if you're in the area.
Last years paddlefest took us there and it is one 
roller coaster of a run. Scenery ain't too bad
either!
Nothing like starting on a calm lake then hit a
1/2-3/4 mile of 200+ ft/mile to start the upper
run to get your juices flowing! We just did the
upper that trip, hope to do the lower next time
if time allows!

The Nahatlatch is a beautiful Class III-IV canyon 

run with continuous whitewater character.

The Thompson River, about an hour North of the
Nahatlatch is a big water class III-IV run. 
The
river at 35,000 cfs creates gnarly eddy-lines
forcing mystery moves and monster wave/holes.  

If you want more information please drop me a
note.

Surf-On!
