Here are some pictures of rivers we've run. More will be added as time
goes on. As we add trip reports and photos this section will grow.
So check back often.
| First
Upper Klamath run. My friends look excited don’t they, that because they
don’t know what is up ahead.
|
Looking down class V Caldera. Nothing but whitewater for 300 yards. Has to be one of the worst rapids to swim.
|
||
| Looking
back up Caldera. Actually this is only half way through, but the
rower (we won’t say who that was) got turned around , and the passenger
took a quick picture.
|
This is what happens when you don’t realize your in the middle of 600 yard long class V Hells Corner. Actually the raft on the bottom was about to go under water wrapped on a rock when the cat came around the corner and landed on top of it, stopping water from running into and allowing it to rise. We were all back safe in our boats in about 5 minutes.
