Om
Snabba fakta: The River of Golden Dreams förbinder Alta Lake med Green Lake och slingrar sig genom 4 kilometer våtmark och skog. Kanotister delar dessa vatten med bävrar, uttrar och den enstaka svartbjörn som syns längs stränderna.
Höjdpunkter: På sin smalaste punkt trycks floden samman till bara 3 meter bred, vilket tvingar paddlare att slingra sig genom en tunnel av hängande videgrenar. Vattnet blir skimrande bärnstensfärgat i det sena eftermiddagssolljuset, färgat av tanniner som urlakas ur cederrötter och som ger floden dess gyllene namn.
Insidertips
- 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.
