4 hours . Skykomish River . High Adrenaline Adventure

The Skykomish river is the ultimate whitewater rafting experience in Washington State. Combining intense whitewater action with epic scenery, the “Sky’s” clear turquoise water flows around house sized boulders creating unique and challenging rapids. The infamous class V “Boulder Drop” is one of the longest and hardest rapids in Washington, but it isn’t the only rapid that keeps our expert guides on their toes. On this 9 mile stretch of river you'll experience numerous class III and IV rapids such as “Railroad,” “Deja Vu,” and “Lunch Hole.” If you’ve been rafting before and are looking for a more challenging and exhilarating adventure then the Skykomish River is the trip for you!
