Pacific Northwest
My buddy lives in boise and we are toying with heading to the PNW this summer. Has anybody been? Seems like I saw something a couple of years ago on Tom's site. Have to go look.
Check out the pictures on this site.

This looks fun.

On the crystal site when I click on the beta links it goes to yahoo. Anybody else having any luck looking at the beta? Does anyone know of a site that has beta on the pnw? Checked climb-utah.

I think there is a yahoo group for canyoneering in the north west. Remember one site with some basic beta in Wash, Org, BC, even non-tech stuff in Idaho. Sorry I don't have time to go searching for it right now.

Thanks Tom may have to head up there in August. Dan's picture are awesome as usual. Does he have a sherpa who follows behind hauling his camera gear?

Naah, never been
Mark, as Tom notes, the season up here doesn't really get going until August, although most years, you can start working certain routes at the beginning of July. This year, the snowpack isn't very heavy, but there has been a lot of late accumulation (even a few days ago) at the higher elevations. Hopefully, streamflows will decline in a near-normal fashion as a result of this combination. My sense is that you could probably do July descents on smaller drainages with lower elevation headwaters (eg Looper and Mosquito Creeks in BC, stuff on the Olympic Peninsula, and possibly Eagle Creek in the Columbia Gorge) towards the beginning of July. The Gorge Creek/Thornton/Snoqualmie routes will be later (Gorge actually never got into condition last year due to a combination of heavy snowpack and rainy summer). FWIW, I've looked in on a few smaller projects recently and they are actually ready to go now.
Shoot me an email if you'd like some ideas-particularly if you're willing to brave the border and Vancouver traffic (both are unspeakably bad) and try some Canadian stuff, eh.

I dunno if you speak Spanish or not, but if you can then I recommend this website: It lists over 35 hikes for Washington, 4 Oregon, 86 for California, etc. Its more of a canyon index that links to personal webpages. Hope this helps...
[Update] Um...well i guess the Washington website links the website you mentioned earlier that go to the yahoo address with nothing there....sorry for that.
