Description
The run begins from Bird Creek Boat Launch or Turner Flat Campground and the first two miles are relatively flat with occassional riffles. Once you reach the obvious horizon line marking the entrance to Skookum Canyon the action begins. The two most significant drops are at the start but the action continues for the next mile down to Sisters Creek, an intriguing tributary that enters from river left and a side canyon that invites exploration. While this run is short, it is a fun hour long adventure when you are looking for a quick hit with easy logistics. Highway 50, a paved two-lane road parallels the entire run although the guardrail partially obscures the view into Skookum Canyon. At low flows this river becomes more class II.
