Tomorrow morning I’ll be teaming up with packrafting all-stars Forrest McCarthy and Luc Mehl to descend Moose Creek and the Selway River in Idaho. We’ll be starting at Hoodoo Lake, at the end of the Elk Summit road, and plan to camp near the confluence of Moose and the Selway, and finish late Sunday afternoon. With the Selway running around 650 cfs near its confluence with the Lochsa near Lowell, conditions seem ideal for butt boating. I haven’t been able to find a trip that went down at less than 1100 cfs, but I haven’t heard of a packraft descent either. It’s been hot and dry all week, so naturally the high in Missoula tomorrow is in the mid 60s, and rain is in the forcast. I’m bringing a farmer john wetsuit.
