It starts at a pullout.
No terminal, no dock. A gravel bar off the highway, and a boat already in the water.
Braided, shallow, moving.
Ankle deep in places and shifting every season. This is why it has to be a jetboat and not anything with a propeller.
The road quits here.
Past this point there is no trail, no pullout, and no way in that is not the river itself.
Then the ice arrives.
A lake full of bergs that calved off the face, and the face still coming.
You are the small thing.
Two kayaks, and a wall of ice that was part of a glacier this morning. Most people go quiet about here.
One boat, three ways to use it.
Every trip starts on the same jetboat, because it is the only thing that reaches this country: shallow braided rivers, a glacier lake full of ice, and gravel bars with no road to them. Kayaks and fishing rods only change what you do once you are there.
Blue Ice
Up the Placer to a calving glacier face. Jetboat in, kayak alongside the ice, or take the boat privately.
Backcountry
Into the Twentymile where the road does not go. Glaciers, waterfalls, and whatever is on the bank that day.
Fishing
The same boat, the same valley, with rods. Half day or full day.
A person answers the phone.
