ECHO guides Adam, Tessa, Zach, and Robyn took a trip up to Northern California’s Smith River this past weekend to explore it for our upcoming guide school. They ran the Middle Fork and North Fork, as well as the famous Class IV-V Oregon Hole Gorge.

If the water conditions are right in March, they are hoping to do an overnight trip on the Class III-IV North Fork of the Smith pictured as the finale for our guide school. They felt that it would make a great training run even though Robyn had a wrap about half way down. They particularly liked the river for it’s many places to practice scouting rapids and opportunities to practice safety techniques near beautiful camps.
