River: Grande Ronde River (Minam Bar to Boggans Oasis)
Date: May 2nd - May 5th, 2024
Rating: Class II+
Length: 65 Miles in 3-4 Days [TBD]
Leader: Gary McCann & Jason Urasky
Description: Yes, there are TWO club Grande Ronde trips this spring! We'll be taking a slightly more casual trip, covering 65 miles from Minam Bar to Boggans Oasis.
Great scenery, grand forested mountains, good camping and green canyon walls in this early season trip. Bald Eagles are almost guaranteed.
We're planning to do this in 3-4 days, depending on weather, flow, and availability for participants. 4 days if the weather is good and water is reasonable, 3 days if the weather turns, flows are high, or someone has time constraints. It's not a problem if you can only do 3 days.
