Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Il River of Golden Dreams collega Alta Lake a Green Lake, snodandosi attraverso 4 chilometri di paludi e foreste. I canoisti condividono queste acque con castori, lontre e l'occasionale orso nero avvistato lungo le rive.
Punti salienti: Nel suo punto più stretto il fiume si restringe a soli 3 metri di larghezza, costringendo i canoisti a infilarsi in un tunnel di rami di salice ricadenti. L'acqua diventa di un ambrato scintillante nel tardo pomeriggio, colorata dai tannini che filtrano dalle radici dei cedri e che danno al fiume il suo nome dorato.
Consigli da insider
- Bring a waterproof bag for your camera because the best photos are possible right from the water, and surprise showers are common even in summer.
- Start early in the morning to avoid crowds and have the best chances of seeing beavers and herons.
- Wear waterproof sandals or water-resistant shoes because you will definitely get water in the boat when passing through the rapids.
- Finish paddling before dusk because the weather in the canyons changes quickly and can become cold.
