39 - 6/13/2010 - Upper Middle (MF Snoqualmie)


The original plan had been to start our tour with a run on the Middle Middle and then drive to Spokane. The Middle Fork Snoqualmie was running 2400 cfs, which would be a little high for Lee's first run on it, so we switched to the Upper Middle. At this flow, the Upper Middle would be fast and fun.

I hadn't run the Upper Middle for a couple of years. In early 2009, the road was badly damaged and this run was inaccessible until May 2010. The run itself hasn't changed much, though there are a couple of places where the river has moved significantly.

We did a shorter version of the run, which cuts off the last 3 miles. This allowed us to get on the road early enough that we could get to Spokane before dinner.
