A phenomenal river trip. Todd, Lauren, Tony, Scott Coster, and I floated the Skwentna River from about 10 miles from the terminus of the Twin Glaciers to the Skwentna airstrip. We hiked a bit, played lots of games, but mostly just enjoyed each others' company and the beautiful Skwentna River valley.
The "strip" we used was next to a hunter's camp
There was a lot of junk and trash left there.
Looking up valley while Tony brushes his teeth:

The one missing person was Adrienne ...
The main current was a few braids away from where we started - a bit of dragging but not much.
The only time we actually scouted a rapid:
