The most popular river in Washington, it's always a great day in eastern Washington. The desert climate and warm weather even when it's raining in Seattle provide an awesome beginning to this action packed day. Meet in the Bavarian town of Leavenworth, WA east of the Cascade Mountains and about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Seattle. You will thrill to the big roller-coaster waves, whitewater and  sunshine. Rest up in-between with scenery of the areas famous apple orchards, but don't rest too long to get ready for the thrills of Rock'n'Roll, Snowblind, Drunkard's Drop and many other famous rapids.
