White Salmon River, Green Truss IV-V

This Section of the White Salmon is a great run, and especially good for groups of various paddling levels. Most of the rapids are read and run class 4, with a few spicier drops thrown in to keep it exciting. Some of the best drops include Big Brother, a fun 25 foot falls, BZ falls, also known as the best swim in the Northwest, and the zig-zag rapids in the lower part of the gorge. We had flows of around 2.7 on the gauge below Husum falls when we ran this in mid March.

BZ falls. This drop lived up to its reputation for beat downs...
