That looks like a great ride John! I remember seeing that route pop up on Bikepacking. Enjoy the trip! I really enjoy the Spokane river. So clear when the water level is down. Riding on the centennial and admiring the river has been a very nice part of moving here. The water levels might be bet

I must come down someday and float the section you speak of. I think a cool trip would be a bike along the Centennial Trail to Idaho and then a float back. A friend and I are headed down there on the 19th on our way to the Nubwiggle ride out of Walla Walla

Ryan, as you well know, these boats don't need a lot of water. I was along stretches yesterday where the river bottom was just inches away. Patrick, Because I live right near the trail and the river, these trips are usually 20-25km- half riding up the valley, and half floating down. The bigger
