With everything pretty much dried up in the PNW we were still able to find some big water on this gem. Here are a couple of 20-30 second videos of some of the great rapids on Tumwater Canyon of the Wenatchee River.

Nice work gents! I drove down that canyon a few years back when I lived in Seattle and wondered if that was runnable in a raft. Wasn't at the time though bc the Wenatchee was running at 12K. The lower stretch was still a blast at that level though.

What boat are you using? Looks like an Aire

Dan,

Thanks for posting the great vids and putting to rest the myth that you can't R2 a 14 foot boat!

Keep them coming!
