Box Canyon of the Sacramento is a fun run and a quick drive from Ashland, Oregon. We met up with some friends from California (Neil Nikirk and Lacey Anderson + some of their friends) and had a great time on the water. We took out at Sweetbriar, which was new for me and added quite a bit of miles to the run, but mainly just class II.
My brother SKip and I R2’d a little 10′ Avon, which was perfect for flows this day.
