Yakima
Has a little white water not like the Salmon or the Colorado. Its mostly know for its fly fishing. 40 - 50 thousand fly fisherman float the Yakima each year. Mostly from the greater Seattle area. We lose a couple of drunk college students each year who float the river on inner tubes. If you are drunk, the rapids are no place to be. Our rapids are pretty easy stuff. The Yakima river flow is a little more than the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. I took 15 Jr. Hi kids down the Yakima last Summer. We make them all wear vests. Really Pretty safe but it can be dangerous like any free flowing major river.
