A couple of us SoCal canyoneering folks are planning to go check out the canyons in Oregon the last week of August. We're thinking of the Columbia Gorge and Cascade areas - has anyone done the canyons there? Any recommendations or know of any other good betas aside from canyoneeringnorthwest.com? Any additional information/contacts would be helpful - thanks!

Also, if anyone is interested in joining us let me know. The dates are Aug 23 - Sep 1 but flexible.
Keep in mind these will be class C canyons (swift water), and we will not be familiar with the canyons, so prior experience is a must.

I'll be there a few weeks before you guys. Hopefully the water flow isnt to high then....

If your going further north into Washington,
Davis Creek, south of Rainier--n of Hwy 12 is a classic. East of Rainier: Skookum Flats, Mesatchee creek and Summit Creek are all good.
