Emily about to jump in the White Salmon River. This is snow melt straight off of Mt Adams. Our regular swimming hole goes through shallow Trout Lake where it gets warmed by the sun. All things are relative as that water is still quite cold. This water though is even COLDER. It felt like it was 40 degrees but damn it felt good on this hot Sunday.

No one lasts long in the water. Jump in, swim out, get hot in the sun, repeat. The water is quite deep so you can just plunge in from the rocky cliffs or even the bridge if you'd like!
