Cashews River and Wiehl Mountain: an Alaskan Brooks Range Traverse

This trip report is one that I hope brings awareness of the Cashews River as a packrafting objective. Prior to testing the waters for ourselves, I had just two pieces of beta to go off of: an Ed Plumb video on youtube, and a photography website with helpful photos. I gathered that it was probably a class 3 river with two canyons to stop and scout at. With a good forecast, and a good team assembled, we did the float, and some peaks along the way, and I now have some things to share that might help future floaters of the beautiful Cashews River. I also have this cool video to contribute
