Whitewater Packraft - Green River: Franklin to Auburn

Packraft this moss-covered lower gorge continuing down to the classic "Yo-Yo" stretch with takeout at the Whitney Bridge. The upper part is a Class III river and becomes flat water before the takeout.

  • Class III River

This is a mentor leader trip and my first time leading a packraft trip.
