September 24: What a spectacular day on the Skagit – great white water fun and warm weather. With the temperature today above 80 – the fall is a good time to enjoy the outdoors and drag out the Indian Summer. If you think you've missed the last white water of the season in the Pacific NW – think again and come up on the Skagit for a weekend getaway.

This first week in January we have seen so many eagles – often around 150 to 200 per trip – we actually loose count after awhile! We were just featured in an article by Greg Johnston of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer which you can find in the Getaway section of the January 6th paper. We had a great bunch of folks with us the day we went – and saw somewhere around 150 eagles. Read more on line about this trip: Getaway
One place not to miss when you come up the Skagit River for an eagle trip is Clark's Resort and their Eatery Restaurant. Tootsie Clark is one of our favorite people and offers good food & warm hospitality. If you want to make your trip up to the Skagit an overnight adventure, be sure and check out our packages with Clarks where you'll have your overnight accommodations, breakfast & a Skagit River eagle trip rolled into one.

What better way to celebrate the holidays than getting out with family and friends to see the eagles along the Skagit! December is already proving to be a terrific month for eagle watchers. Last weekend we were witness to somewhere around a hundred eagles along the Skagit. So if you are one of the lucky who has everything ready for the holidays – this is a great time to beat the crowds in January and February. Enjoy the wilderness with warm hospitality and food and reflect on the spirit of nature's wonder.

If my 80 year old mother-in-law can go rafting on the Skagit, then so can you!: Last week I took my mother-in-law, wife, sister-in-law and friends on a mid-week eagle raft trip down the Skagit River. Now you have to understand that my mother-in-law, Martha who lives in Delaware, is going to be 80 years old on her next birthday. When I asked if she'd like to see some eagles on the Skagit, without hesitation she said YES! Actually I was not surprised since she has gone with us on several raft trips – including a white water section of Oregon's famous Rogue River; the Gila River in Arizona and for her 75th Birthday party in Alaska, the entire family including the birthday girl, children and grandchildren went on a raft trip down the Chilkat River through the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Martha got in and out of the raft on her own and thoroughly enjoyed the 5 eagles, blue heron and other birds along with the absolutely gorgeous scenery. Stops at Cascadian Farms for hot chocolate and a trip out to Padilla Bay and up Chuckanut Drive competed a wonderful day in the Pacific Northwest.
Enjoy our Gourmet Sunday Brunch: New this season is our "soon to be famous" gourmet breakfast before the Skagit River Bald Eagle Raft trip. Meet us at 9 AM for a scrumptious breakfast and continue on up river for an

Why Raft With Pacific Northwest Float Trips?
Dave Button who founded Pacific Northwest Float Trips was born and raised along the Skagit River having lived with his family in Newhalem, WA. After he graduated from Western Washington University, and completed his army service, he returned to the Skagit Valley to teach school.
Pacific NW Float Trips became the first Washington commercial raft company after taking a trip with the famous Georgie While on the Colorado River in 1973. Button combined his teaching career with Rafting until he devoted himself full-time to Rafting and Tours in Washington & Alaska.

Best Viewing for Eagles Is On the River / Great Winter Eagle Viewing
By far the best viewing of eagles through the Skagit River Bald Eagle Natural Area is on the river. A gentle float trip through this areas affords optimum photography opportunities and sightings.
While you are on the river, you will be able to see eagles on both sides of the river in places you could never see as an observer from the banks or road. We do ask that you keep your voices down so the eagles are not disturbed as we float, but you can click your cameras as much as you like.
Bring your cameras and dress for the weather is the rule of thumb for these incredible winter trips. The first trips are offered in December and continue through the first part of March as long as there are still eagles.
