What to Expect?
Typical Day on the River
with M.R.O.
A typical day on the river begins at first
light. The guides prepare coffee, tea, hot chocolate. The
early riser can have a quick bite and go for a short hike or
catch some trout or bass as the sun warms the river canyon.
At approximately 8:00 A.M. we serve a full course breakfast.
Typical breakfasts include Dutch oven potatoes or muffins,
omelets, bacon, eggs to order, French toast, blueberry
pancakes with huckleberry syrup and more. After breakfast
the guides break camp and prepare the boats for a day of
adventure on the river.
Midmorning we begin our day of
whitewater river rafting. While running Idaho white water
either on the Main Salmon River or Hells Canyon you will
have three types of boats from which to choose. Guests can
ride aboard an oar boat where the guide navigates you safely
down river. A paddle boat where you and a few other guests
and a guide power the raft through the many rapids
yourselves, the guide will have a smaller frame and oars at
the back of this raft to control and navigate you safely. Or
for the strong hearted, an inflatable kayak, the ultimate in
whitewater rafting excitement. At anytime during your trip
you can decide which craft fits your mood.
During the day we stop at many points of
interest. We explore ancient Indian pictographs and
campsites, learn of the original explorers and mountain men
and what brought them there. There are also many beautiful
side canyons to explore. For the fishermen, Hells Canyon
offers an abundance of fishing, at camp the guides will set
the sturgeon rod while you fish for rainbow trout and small
mouth bass. When the sturgeon rod goes off get ready for the
fight of your life as these monsters can be up to 10 feet
long weighing over 350Lbs. our average being around 7 feet.
The guides serve lunch around midday on
the banks of the river. Lunch favorites include deli
sandwiches, taco salads, wraps, fresh fruit, homemade
salads, homemade cookies and breads, lots of ice
cold drinks and water. After a leisurely break it's on to more
exciting whitewater rafting in Idaho's wilderness.
You reach your night's
camp late afternoon. A guide has already transported all
the kitchen equipment, camping gear and guests' duffels to
camp on a supply raft. When you arrive, your tent is set up
with sleeping pads ready. You can immediately get
comfortable by changing into dry clothes, take a cat nap,
read a book from our library, or whatever you feel like. If
you still have some energy you can take a short hike,
team-up for a game of volleyball, boccee, washers,
horseshoes, or just relax. Hors d'oeuvres such as shrimp
cocktail with cheese and crackers, smoked salmon wraps and
stuffed mushrooms are served early evening.
Each evening a refreshment table is set up
with plenty of ice for your beverages. We serve your full
course dinner about an hour after hors d'oeuvres. The dinner
menu is what you would expect at your favorite restaurant,
we have many different main courses to choose from and will
try to put the best combinations together for each group.
Also, each evening for dessert our guides carefully prepare
a delicious Dutch oven pastry.
After dinner, time is spent relaxing around
the camp fire reliving the experience of the day with old
and new friends. You may take in a short hike, a evening
swim (Salmon River), or fight another sturgeon before bed
where you can dream of the next day's excitement and
adventure. At Mountain River Outfitters, we want our service
and attention to detail to make this your best vacation
ever!
