Clear Fork of the Cowlitz.

For as long as I've been interested in hiking through Devil's Club and carrying my kayak immense distances on my shoulder, I've heard about the Clear Fork of the Cowlitz.

I was able to get a lot of footage out if this mission so I will do an entire post on the CF Cowlitz later.

There was a lot of portaging on this trip...

... and a lot of getting sick.

The next morning we were able to bang out a quick Ohane lap on our way up to Icicle and Tumwater Canyon.

Caught up with the Portland crew as they were putting on for their first lap of the day.

I didn't get any photos of Icicle or Tumwater this weekend, but I was able to shoot a bunch of video so I'll try to get that online soon.
