I never read. I just look at pictures.

The Rafting

In December we get about eleven hours of daylight. The weather is usually quite settled and you should see the sun on most days. The long term average predicts medium amounts of rain which makes for a friendly level with some flow through the flat bits and good white water. These are some of the rafting photos.

The Quiet Stretches

Most of the Franklin River is tranquil and particularly beautiful at medium to low water levels.
