Based on river projections, I've decided to lead this trip at the Nisqually River. This would be an excellent river for those just graduated from the Beginner Whitewater class.

The Nisqually is a scenic 10 mile run through Joint Base Lewis McChord south of Tacoma. It is mostly class 2 with a single class 3 rapid that has a good recovery pool afterwards. It is a longer run, so it is suggested to pack a lunch or substantial snack.

Meet at Yelm Hydro-Plant take-out, ready to shuttle by 11am. Yelm Hydro-Plant is located in Nisqually Park (not to be confused with Nisqually State Park, which is a different location). See Google Maps link for location. We will shuttle to the put-in at McKenna Park.
