Boulder Drop, especially at flows above 6000 cfs, is absolutely the real deal. Full-on class V and NEVER to be taken lightly. The scenery is gorgeous and lush in this canyon, and Mt. Index is an incredible site above the left bank of the river. The only thing not so great is the towns of Index and Gold Bar; if there are any trashier towns in Washington than these two I have not seen them. (Gold Bar is the worse of the two; they should change the name to Mold Bar.)
Endless adventure
The only way to live 🔥
