Trip information: The Lochsa is a snow-melt class IV-V river. It is big time whitewaer with huge wave trains and some big holes. This is not a river for ID's or beginners. Flips and swims are commonplace. Five to ten flips per trip is not uncommon. Wetsuits are mandatory and a drysuit is preferable. Helmets are invaluable for proteting your head from flying oars and bodies when you have that inevitable flip.
