The Sauk River
|
When it comes to scenery and whitewater, the Sauk is a hit! The river itself is federally protected as a wild and scenic river system and the pristine mountain scenery and wildlife surrounding the area is untamed. The water itself is a combination of snowpack and glacial melt, making for a beautiful green hue. Nearly continuous Class III to IV rapids run through large boulders creating great technical rapids like Alligator Drop, Jaws, and Popeye. Darrington is also the meeting place for the Sauk. Run this one when wanting to experience the true Washington mountain outback! |
This great river is a national treasure and has been federally protected as a Wild & Scenic River by the U.S. Congress. The combination of scenery, action, history and local lore and legend make this river one of the premier river rafting experiences in this country. You'll experience great rapids, such as Jaws, Popeye, and Alligator Drop. Astounding views of the surrounding mountains with hanging glaciers will mesmerize you while the local wildlife will make its presence known. Your guide/chefs will provide gourmet riverside meals for you to enjoy. On an overnight trip we will typically serve a continental breakfast, deli style lunch and baked dinner the first day, and full breakfast and hot lunch the second day, plus snacks and drinks. The rapids on this river are rated Class IV. |
