Two paddlers depart for a week-long float trip on Birch Creek Wild and Scenic River from the put-in at mile 94, Steese Highway, Alaska. When the water is low, as in this photo, the first day involves frequent dragging over riffles and gravel bars. Conditions improve as tributaries add to Birch Creek's flow. BLMAKNC417.
