Hello Rafters, Kayakers,
and Group and Event Organizers,
After
last winter's low snow pack, who would have guessed that this summer
would have been such a great one out on the river. Well, it has
been! Endless sunshine, an incredible glacier up on Mt. Adams
providing plenty of water, and classic Northwest scenery have helped
contribute to a great whitewater season for both kayakers and rafters at
Wet Planet. With guests on the
White Salmon River returning daily with
huge smiles, it's hard to believe that the end of summer is in
sight.
However, that means that the Tieton Season is right around the corner.
Every September, water is released from Rim Rock Lake dam, creating a
big-water roller coaster rafting ride on the Tieton River.
Join us this September for a Season's Finale on 15 miles of rocking
Class III+ whitewater rafting on the
Tieton River. Thanks to a dry summer, the expectation is
that even more water will be released from the dam this season to make
up for lower water flows downstream of the Tieton. This means that
this season we should have BIG water on the Tieton! Located just a
3-hour drive from both Portland and Seattle, the Tieton is a great way
to end the season. Trip cost: $70 per person (this includes
all gear for the trip, as well as a BBQ after your run). Make a
weekend out of it ... all of our guests are welcome to camp with us at
our base camp on the Tieton River.
Wet Planet News:
After a few months of hard work, and a couple of set-backs, the Wet
Planet Kayak Pool is finished! Students at the
Wet Planet Kayak School are now happily working through roll
sessions and getting used to being in their kayaks in the comfort of
warm pool water and sunshine just a few feet away from espressos and
smoothies in the Wet Planet shop! The pool has been an incredible
addition for everyone, kayakers and swimmers, during these hot summer
weeks.
Andy Round is about to take off for his Multiple Rivers for Multiple
Sclerosis Expedition. The objective of the trip is to raise
awareness for the Multiple Sclerosis Society by paddling the four most
challenging river expeditions in Alaska and British Columbia in
succession. This never before accomplished feat should take about
6 weeks. Andy's last rafting trip this season will be on
Wednesday. We wish him luck and a safe return!
