Upper North-Fork San Joaquin Kayak Expedition - California



The Upper North-Fork of the San Joaquin flows through the Ansel Adams Wilderness area in the Californian High Sierra just south of Yosemite National Park. 

A tributary of the famed Devils Postpile section, this section of river sports some absolutely stunning scenery and classic, quality whitewater. Our team concluded that his seemingly rarely run section, was one of the best overnight paddling trips of the Sierra season. A massively underrated section which, though you have to work hard for it, will greatly reward you for your efforts!

The team hiked 11miles to the put in, paddled 6 miles on the river, and hiked a further 3 miles to the take out over the course of 3 days.

Trip of a lifetime with the best crew possible.
