Unlike the East Coast, where dam releases start in the fall, out West, our rivers dry up. By early fall here in Idaho, there\u2019s often not enough water to go paddling, but it\u2019s still hot. In early winter, either there\u2019s still not enough water or it\u2019s too cold to paddle\u2014 there\u2019s not enough snow to go skiing, but there&#8217;s too much snow to go mountain biking.

You just have to get creative.<!--more--> This September, a friend and I did a self support trip on the Lower Salmon River. It was low water, so to make the trip more challenging we did the run in two and a half days, paddling over 30 miles each day. The Lower Salmon has a lot of flatwater, and a long paddle out on the slow-moving Snake, so making miles presented a new challenge. We also made it more of an adventure by packing as light as possible. We didn\u2019t bring a tent, sleeping pads, or extra fuel. The first night there was a big thunderstorm, so we just slept on the beach in our paddling gear to keep our sleeping bags dry. We got to sleep in our sleeping bags on our second night, but ran out of fuel on our last morning. Overall, it was a great little backdoor adventure on a free-flowing river through beautiful canyons where water runs all year long, giving paddlers an option when there\u2019s nothing else running.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-4248\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/31190635\/Erin3-300x226.jpg\" alt=\"Erin3\" width=\"300\" height=\"226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/31190635\/Erin3-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/31190635\/Erin3.jpg 387w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Going boating in the cold early winter season takes some extra motivation. If you like playboating and live in eastern Washington or northern Idaho, the waves start to come back in on the Spokane River in November\/December. It\u2019s cold, but not that bad in full winter dry gear.<\/p>\n<p>I just got back from a trip to White Salmon, WA and that&#8217;s a great place to go creeking in early winter. It usually starts raining, so many of the creeks come in, and if it doesn\u2019t rain, there\u2019s always the White Salmon (Farmlands, Green Truss, and BZ to Husum sections). Also, the aquifers do not run during the fall, so there\u2019s actually more water in the Farmlands than during the summer. It\u2019s generally not that cold during the early winter, but it was cold when I was there and the canyons were full of ice!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/31190635\/Erin4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-4249\" src=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/31190635\/Erin4-300x247.jpg\" alt=\"Erin4\" width=\"300\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/31190635\/Erin4-300x247.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/31190635\/Erin4-364x300.jpg 364w, https:\/\/d2kl15j267vxtq.cloudfront.net\/duct-tape\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/31190635\/Erin4.jpg 392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>I\u2019m excited for ski season, but I\u2019m going to make the most of my time by paddling until the snow really gets here!
