Trip Reports

July 22 Upper Pine River

Published on 7/22/2012

Lois, John, Harold, Pam, Tracie, Mary, Milda, Barb, Mike R., Mike T., Steve and Jocelyn enjoyed a peaceful paddle down the Upper Pine River, in very warm humid weather. 

 

 

It was peaceful other than bumping into and sliding off of some boulders.  There was not much wildlife to be found.  They were probably hiding under branches to keep out of the heat.  Two mergansers and a bald eagle were spotted.  After a lunch break at the Skookum access, a beautiful spot overlooking the river, the group took many swim breaks to stay cool.  The water was cold and refreshing.  A good time was had by all.
