Tim is proposing a 4-6 day trip on the Little and/or Big Smoky Rivers, that will finish in Peace River town.  This is an beautiful big river, with the occasional bit of modest rough stuff, nothing over Class II at most water levels.  The Little Smoky has gravel bars, gravelly chutes and rocks to dodge.  Most summers by mid-August log jams and sweepers are easily avoided.  The Big Smoky has a couple of known rapids but again by mid-August these are just pressure waves, one spot is a broken sandstone ledge with broad channels through it.  One paddles this river for the spectacular scenery, wildlife, and camping along a fine river.   Very little agriculture intrusion along the river other than the cattle pastures.  Both rivers are well incised and there are spectacular cliffs and valley slopes along the way.  This trip will require modestly good river paddling skills: eddy turns, ferrying, rock dodging, directional control, and good canoe camping skills.  Dates and start location are still "to be determined".  Sign up and trade some email with trip Leader Tim.
