Cossatot River

Description

Beautiful blue water in a remote area. The rocks are covered with moss. Some sources claim that the name of the river comes from an Indian term meaning “skull crusher,” but the term is actually French, cassé-tête (literally, “crushed head”). The name is probably due to the severity of the rapids in the upper part of the river.
