The View From Above: The Upper Chehalis River Basin in Photos

A day prior to departing for a journey from Pe Ell to Grays Harbor, Chronicle journalists Isabel Vander Stoep and Jared Wenzelburger were treated to a look from above by pilot Dave Neiser. The photographs included with this post are from the upper reaches of the river near Pe Ell. Look for more downriver aerial photos for the next week or so as we continue "Headwaters to Harbor," a Chronicle project to document the river and highlight people and issues along the way.
