Set in the Chugach National forest near Hope Alaska, Six Mile Creek is a run for whitewater enthusiasts desiring the highest difficulty level in a guided whitewater trip. Dropping over 50 feet per mile as it flows out of the Chugach Mountains, Six Mile Creek has cut its way through three separate canyons offering Class IV and Class V whitewater.

Rising over 500 feet in places, these towering canyon walls are draped in a lush carpet of old growth rain-forest with cascading waterfalls pouring in from the sides. Crystal clear water with healthy salmon runs make this a river runner's dream. Safely running Six Mile's narrowly constricted passageways takes a coordinated team effort with technical and precise paddling. Working closely with your guide, you'll be paddling while (s)he handles the oars. This oar paddling combination gives you power when you need it, as well as precise maneuvering capability.

For those who want the most excitement we offer paddle rafting, everyone paddles with the guide sitting in the back giving paddle commands. Six Mile has such an abundance of whitewater that one rapid will quickly fade from memory as you anxiously look downriver preparing for the next. Precipitous drops, thundering hydraulics and powerful waves follow one after the other in quick succession. With each succeeding canyon, we'll encounter whitewater of increasing difficulty. With rapids known as "Staircase," "Suckhole," "Merry-Go-Round" and "Jaws," the third and most difficult canyon has six rapids rated at Class IV+ and Class V.
