Awesome. Seriously.
What Ike said.
Awesome. Looks like a ton of fun and some amazing scenery.
This TR doesn't help my internal struggle to hold off on getting a packraft…
Good stuff Brendan.
Great trip report… thank you!
Great route.
Packrafts change the crap portions of loops into the best parts. Gotta love it.
Warning: These images may cause a productivity hit if you view them at work. I'll save this one for tea time tonight with the wife. Thank you Brendan.
Thanks all.
You're totally right Dave, the DD sucks to hike but the rafts made it a highlight.
Neat trip and enjoyed the photos. I'm noticing both long pants and shorts. Did the temps vary and did you feel cold in the water?
We had a pretty warm weekend; highs around 70 and lows around mid to high 30s. I usually wear running shorts under some lightweight pants (patagonia sol patrol) that I typically just wear in the morning and evening. Just wore shorts in the boats. Late afternoon in the shadows was a little chilly, especially when it got breezy, but not bad. If it had been more typical March temps we would have probably been uncomfortable, but in that case I'd like to think we would have been smart enough to at least bring some rain gear to be sitting in water all day. I'll probably try to rig up some sil decks for cooler trips at some point.
