Selway River Packraft

July 7-11, 2015 - Northern Idaho

53.6 mi  /  1,979 ft

Ever since we first did the Selway back in 2012 we've been craving a repeat performance. This time Dave was on board. I drove up and met Mike and Dave at Redfish Lake where we rented a small outboard motor and boated across the lake. Then we headed up to Paradise and the put-in to Selway. The water level was roughly the same as last time, maybe a tad lower. It was another epic trip. Class IV rapids, another 8 swims (5 for me this time :( ), a bald eagle, a bear, thunderstorms, stunning scenery, crystal clear water, lost and ruined gear. Awesome. This was also my new Crosstrek's first REAL trip.
