Description
This race started in Hood River Oregon at an apple orchard. Teams started on bikes and headed up into amazing single track around the base of Mt Hood. They then packrafted the Columbia River with their bikes on their boats and got to an amazing climbing/ Orienteering section. From there they made their way with their packrafts to the Kickitat on bikes and foot. Once there they packrafted, trekked and biked some more with Mt Adams as their backdrop until they got to the White Salmon and paddled the class VI river to the finish in Hood River!
