Dates & event
Wed 24 July - Sun 28 July 2024
Why these dates?
Water flow: This far in advance it's hard to know what canyon flow levels will be in summer. How the snowpack builds over winter and how it melts over spring greatly affect the volume of water. So we have to make a guess based on past experience & venue availability.
Weather: The PNW should be in summer-mode by the end of July. Warm days, blue skies, and lots of daylight make for great conditions to play in our glorious wet canyons.
What happens if the weather goes sideways?
We will adapt and improvise. The good news is that a little rain doesn't prohibit us from entering our canyons, and we've all come expecting to get wet anyhow. Regardless, we'll be keeping a vigilant eye on the forecast.
