This is an extraordinary EXPERIENCED-ONLY trip. The Lower Moose River demands of every participant the very highest levels of skill, strength, stamina, river savvy and teamwork. This is big, powerful, awe-inspiring whitewater, and needs to be taken seriously. Don't consider this trip unless you are a veteran of at least one other Class IV or V river trip, and you are well prepared for the possibility of an unforeseen swim in very rough water, cold conditions, or both. |
