Full Name: Wendy Luo
Narrative: Willamette Falls is notable for its wide, horseshoe shape and historic significance. This trip will get you close to the falls. If you are experienced kayaker, you may paddle under the fall, if you are not, you could stay in the relatively calm water area to practice your paddle skill or rescue skill. Level 2 skills paddlers are welcomed. If you are level 1 and willing to see how the people play in the rough water, you are also welcomed.
