Here is the first glimpse of the inner canyons in the headwaters of Rock Creek, WA. We managed to sneak in the morning before the access was closed off until next year. So, until next year…

Chess games take awhile and this one was as tough as it gets for exploratory kayaking. Many failed attempts at access and one failed attempt to explore this section prior to our trip made it a great opponent. Jacob Cruser had been investigating this section of Rock Creek for sometime before he went in on the first trip; his story here. And as to be expected, after a failed attempt on a deep canyon lined with waterfalls more people got really interested in seeing what could not be seen. Jacob’s write up on the full exploration of this section of the creek can be found here; Mt.HoodH2O.
Here are a few screen shots from the trip, video coming soon.
The first big one.

In March of 2009 Paul Gamache, Keel Brightman, & Ryan Scott set out to experience the Full length of the Columbia River in two separate trips. The first; Revelstoke to the Pacific Ocean, 882 miles. The second; Columbia Lake to Revelstoke, 361 miles. The river is blocked by 14 dams with only a couple short sections of free-flowing river left. In the early 1930′s plans were set in motion to harness the flow of the Columbia to power the Pacific Northwest & beyond. Check out the video for more information on the Columbia River and check out thecolumbiaexperience.com for a day-by-day journal on the 1,243 mile journey.
