Beautiful Bumping River is SQUIRREL APPROVED, TWO CLAWS UP! | 4K | Okanogan-Wenatchee | Washington

This is from the Shoreline overlooking Bumping River, flowing through Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest (particularly the historic Wenatchee side), showcasing a highlight section of the approximately 25-Mile BEAUTIFUL River.

Bumping River is a tributary of Naches River, Naches River is a tributary of Yakima River, and Yakima River is a tributary of Columbia River, so Bumping River is part of the greater Columbia River Basin, and in my humble opinion one of the most scenic "money sections" due to its Forested Topography.

As a side note, I highly recommend Bumping Lake Campground, particularly Campsite #45, #43, or #44 (in that order of quality). I stayed at site #45, did a full day at the North Side of Mount Rainier exploring the Sunrise Zone and doing Burroughs Mountain Trail, and spent an off day going up and down Bumping River and exploring the numerous Campgrounds up and down Bumping River Road. Best Campground amongst the rest was Soda Springs Campground, particularly Campsite #20. I have video reviews of the specific above mentioned Campsites uploaded as well.

There are, in my opinion, some world class backcountry camping options up and down side roads off Bumping River Road up against the shoreline of Bumping River. I think this area is a bit of an underappreciated/undiscovered gem for its beauty and overall high quality.
