Anyone know anything about the Gilkey river. North of Juneau. Access will likely be Juneau Ice field via Mendenhall Or Lemon Glacier. Planning late may or early June trip. Any info or interest let me know.

We both now know that walking up the river from Berner’s Bay is a bad idea…
My buddy and I just recently did the Gilkey on Packrafts. Class III for the first stretch leaving the lake then I and II for the remainder. We used a heli for access. Here’s a YouTube video with drone footage of a solar jet boat running the entrance rapids. https://youtu.be/pP0WVsFLgug?is=0QCqqjVfxruIOMAR
