Whitewater Kayaking
The Middle Fork of the Salmon River
3.60 feet on Day 1 put-on
Personal First Descent
Dagger Falls is an optional Class V rapid at the start of the Middle Fork of the Salmon. We scouted it the night before, and then we ran it the morning our permits were active/valid.
It was definitely odd firing up such a big rapid in a boat I've never paddled and with far less hip control than I prefer. Happily, it went well, and it was a a lot of fun.
