Skykomish River Class IV-V Whitewater Rafting Seattle
Similar deals
Located only 1 hour from downtown Seattle this is the closest and most exciting river mountain experience you can get.
Alpine Adventures whitewater rafting trips launch just below the towering peaks of Mt. Index and the Lake Serene trailhead. The trip begins with paddle practice in the calm turquoise pools above the misty horizon line of the first rapid. A few miles downstream lies the famous Boulder Drop rapid. Standing on the river bank next to Boulder Drop causes hearts to pound just looking at the thundering Class IV-V section of whitewater. When the river is at 6,000 cubic feet per second (CFS) or above, Boulder Drop becomes Class V and you need a great team with one of our expert Skykomish raft guides to lead you between massive house size rocks.
