This is a great 3-5 day trip with some good 2-3-4 rapids, since the highway runs the length of the road you can tailor the trip to your liking.
Ukonom Beach is a great place to camp for a day with a great hike up to a simming hole and beautiful waterfall. There is great wildlife on this trip. We saw bald eagles every day and at least one bear every trip we have done. This is also a good trip for inflatable kayaks. Water is a great temperature as well.
