Description
"Narrow enough at the top to throw a rock across and at the bottom not much wider than a boat length and often undercut, the Kuskulana Gorge is visually spectacular from the air and from the rim, and incredibly so from far down inside, in a kayak..." -Andy Embick from " _Fast and Cold: A guide to Alaska Whitewater."_ Check out the story from the AW Archives: click here. There exists a well-written trip report in the American Whitewater journal by Roger Pollard titled, " _Kuskalana! An Alaskan Wilderness Adventure."_ Published May-June issue, 1995, pages 55-62.
