Meeting Place and Times:

  • First meeting place is the Issaquah Park and Ride at 7:30am to form carpools

  • If camping also bring water, folding chairs, a camp table, and something to grill.

 

This is very a gentle river rafting float on a Class 0 river (aka a beer float).  Bring your own floating device such as an inflatable kayak or boat, inner tube, multi-person floating island, etc. or you may rent one from our put-in spot at Bighorn.

 

Trip Leader:  Don Guerin               don.guerin@comcast.net            425-286-9246

 

Optional:  Drive over Friday and camp out at Bighorn.  See prices below for camping, parking, and tube rentals.  Don plans on camping Friday night and may leave his truck at the take-out at Roza so we can be ready to float between 10 – 10:30am without needing to shuttle cars.  Don plans on camping Friday and Saturday nights and returning to Seattle on Sunday.   Note:  This campground does not take reservations nor do they have a phone or email so they cannot be contacted.  If you plan on arriving late Friday night, let Don know so campsites can be saved.

 

Tube Launch:  $2.00

Camping:  $15.00/night

Day Parking Only:  $5.00

Tube Rental:  TBD

 

Please register on club express so we know how many to expect at the put-in!!!  RAIN CANCELS – those registered will be notified by Thursday night should rain cancel.
