Kayaking Photos from Snoqualmie Falls

When river levels get low in the summertime, whitewater kayakers like me head over to the Powerhouse run below Snoqualmie Falls to practice on little holes and surf waves.  Putting in at the base of Snoqualmie Falls takes some extra effort - you have to carry your kayak nearly to the end of the boardwalk, hoist it over the rail and then use several people or a rope to lower your boat down to the rocks - and then there's another jaunt across boulders to the edge of the pool below the falls.

But... it's all worth it!  I was so glad my friend Chris Peele took these shots last time she was up there because I never seem to bring my video camera when I go there.
