Description
Elk Creek is a remote Wilderness adventure requiring a significant hike up a remote and spectacular valley. The whitewater is comprised of three distinct sets of Class IV and V whitewater seperated by meandering sections flowing through open meadows. The whitewater is a mix of quality boulder and bedrock rapids, and portaging is reasonable as needed. Expect some wood portages, but as of 2012 these were not excessive. There is no trail along the creek, so once you drop in you are on your own in a very wild valley. Bring your bear spray.
