We meet at Howard Miller Steelhead Park and from there we transport you up river by bus to Marblemount WA. Once we arrive in Marblemount we will get the boats in the water, fire the propane heaters off, have a brief safety meeting and then set off for a 9-mile drift through the Bald Eagle sanctuary. During your tour our experienced guide will give you information about the eagles, salmon runs and the intricate roles they play on this beautiful river.
