Revelstoke Weekend – Upper Perry River

Another river that has an event on it during the Jordan river Festival is the Perry river. Located to the west of Revelstoke, the Perry river is divided into two sections. There was a race on both sections, however I ended up spending all the time on the upper. This is a beautiful river and there was some excellent rapids. One of my favorite shots from the weekend came from the Upper Perry.

We put in a little bit above the usual spot which added a couple excellent drops. The one in the picture below being a favorite.

After running and racing the upper section of the Perry, there was the lower Perry race. A number of us went and met the group after to catch up with friends and see the race results.
