This summer some friends took me down some sections of the Checkamus river near Whistler BC that I hadn’t done before. The only bad thing about them was you couldn’t drink the water, also advisable to have a shower after getting home, as you paddled past the sewage outlet for whistler. Adds another grade probably?
With two nice 15ft waterfalls and some other interesting drops and log jams to paddle under. These were nice after work runs with people who knew them. The Daisy Lake section probably being one of the more committing. Here are some shots of the Upper Checkamus water fall, Balls to the Wall falls, and a Log jam on the Middle Checkamus. Enjoy

Wouldn’t want the water to high here.
