Family Whitewater

The Suiattle River is great to explore in the warm summer months when the snowfields of Glacier Peak melt. The river is protected as a scenic river under the Federal Wild and Scenic Rivers act and is a good place to spot deer, waterfowl and even an occasional bear. The banks are thickly forested and there are almost no signs of civilization from beginning to end. We meet in the local logging town of Darrington before shuttling up to the put in. A great trip for families offering challenging and fun Class II and III whitewater and some of Washington's best natural history adventures. Most of the rapids consist of splashy slides over continually changing gravel beds, but watch out for Coyote Crossing and Hurricane Rapids to give you a wild ride.  

3 Day Get-Away

The Wild & Scenic protected Suiattle River is a classic wilderness river that has it all. Class III+/IV- rapids, dense old growth forest and an authentic Native American river camp. Two days of rafting and one of hiking make this trip one of a kind! Our dutch oven cooking with native style salmon barbecue will more than satisfy even the most discerning palette. Also, an exclusive with Alpine Adventures and the Sauk/Suiattle Tribe, our riverside native style sweatlodge is not to be missed.
