Paradise Ledge is arguably the best play on the west side of the Cascades, and rightfully so. This ledge, although it doesn't come in often, really rocks. It is in between flows of 1,200-1,800, and washes out completely above 2,000. It is shallower at flows close to 1,200 and about ideal at 1,450-1,600. One of the greatest parts of the ledge is that it is dam fed, so if it is in, it will likely hold through the afternoon.
On this fine Spring afternoon, we headed out for a session at 4ish, got there at 5ish, played for 2 hours and still made it back for the Pool Session in Tacoma by 8. It was a good day.
