This is a video of a day trip we did to a section of Cayoosh Creek just outside of Lillooet in July 2016. It is mainly a class IV section but the biggest rapid in the middle of the run is very dangerous and no easier nor any less dangerous to portage than to paddle. There aren’t really any older videos or many descriptions of this river around, which is odd since jut next to it runs a highway. It is such a gorgeous section and I would love to see more people running it. I hop

For me, the best part of realizing that I was going to spend this fall back home was the expectation of this wet weather. Idrija is a creek on the border of Slovenia and Italy that needs a lot of rain to become runnable for kayakers. Not many people know of its existence but it is only one of many little streams in the area that bring so much joy to us
