McKenzie River Packraft Adventure
I've been dreaming about a trip like this for a while and I finally made it happen this weekend on the McKenzie River. This trip has everything: physical exhaustion, technical whitewater, dogs, sleeping outside...it's just perfect. Summary:
- 11 mile hike up the McKenzie River Trail from Paradise Campground
- Found a nice dispersed campsite with great river access
- Paddled back to the Campground on continuous class II whitewater
- Just to make sure we were completely exhausted, we added another 9 miles of paddling more relentless class II water
- Finished cranky and exhausted (but happy), got a burger and a beer at McKenzie General Store
