John Day River, John Day

Beautiful mostly except for the weather which is nobodys fault! Would do a raft camping trip again but check the weather in advance. Beautiful rock formations - one formation looked like castle ruins...one could almost think you were in Scotland. The river was high due to more rainfall that probably made the rapids a little easier to navigate although we moved at a pretty rapid rate. Highly recommend!

Priest Hole to Clarno kayak trip for the 2017 eclipse. Despite the madness in the surrounding area, we saw very few people during our 4 day paddle trip. The water was perfect for swimming and many fish were easily caught. I wouldn't consider doing this trip under 200 cfs flow. More than 200 is necessary for boats other than kayaks.
