Beartrap Canyon Rafting/Kayaking

Hello!
Sunday was a great time in Beartrap Canyon. You know something crazy is going to happen when there is a raft with 3 foreign exchange students. The only major rapid at 1800 cfs was Kitchen Sink, a class IV shown in the video. It’s not a good place to swim because rescue is pretty difficult until the swimmer reaches calm water at the bottom of the rapid. Mica, the German exchange student and one of the strongest paddlers, got tossed at the beginning. She swam the majority of it before I was able to pull her out. A little shaken up, but still smiling! Other rapids like Green Wave and Kicking Horse were fun wave trains. As a whole, it was a great time with the sun shinning and good/goofy company. Rafting and kayaking at it finest.
