"Salmon River Rafting Adventure."

The Grand Canyon of the Salmon River
A Classic Wilderness Whitewater Adventure

Discover Excitement:
Experience the ever changing Salmon River with heart pounding white water, wild waves and deep holes. These roller coaster rapids are great rides, with thrills and excitement to get your adrenaline going. Relax in the calm water between the rapids. Catch your breath, enjoy the scenery from steep granite cliffs to grassy meadows. Join in family fun activities, hot springs, water fights and volleyball on the beach.

Discover Freedom:
Enjoy a pampered existence with attention to detail, gourmet cuisine, calm deep pools for relaxation, swimming or fishing. Surround yourself with the beauty of wilderness mountains and a canyon deeper than the Grand Canyon. Camp on white sandy beaches sheltered by giant Ponderosa Pines. Be dazzled by a star filled sky.

Discover Treasure:
Yes gold was found on the river and perhaps you might (if you bring your pan) but we are talking about the other kind of treasure, the non fleeting kind, the type your take with you and freely give away: memories. Remember the people you brought with you, the people you just met that became your new best friends, your guides that worked hard to make this the best vacation ever. Remember rock paintings left by an ancient inhabitants, hikes to abandoned mines and homesteads, the beauty of the mountains and the river valley, and the varied wildlife. Remember floating down the river waiting for that burst of excitement from the next rapid. Remember the fun playing in the water, on crystal white sandy beaches and sharing stories around the campfire. The river creates these memories, treasures that will last a lifetime.

Discover Traveling by River:
Thrills and excitement are provided by heart pounding roller coaster-like rapids followed by calmer sections allowing you play and enjoy the canyon. This unique blending provides the magic that is white water rafting on the Main Salmon River.

Allow the current of the Salmon River to carry you through the Grand Canyon of the Salmon to the ultimate family vacation. White sandy beaches, breath taking views, and abundant wildlife make this a vacation you'll remember for a lifetime.

We consider it our pleasure to guide you, your family and friends through Idaho's pristine wilderness. This is truly the perfect vacation.
