Mountain River Outfitters - Who??

Hello, let me introduce ourselves, my name is Jess Baugh and my wife Brenda and I own and operate Mountain River Outfitters, LLC. I started guiding whitewater rafting and fishing trips in Idaho 16 years ago, I have always enjoyed sharing the love I have for the River, it's history, the thrill of whitewater rafting and creating lifelong friendships along the way. I guided river trips for a number of outfitters in Idaho before starting my own company, having experience of the different styles and equipment used I have built our company around the best equipment, guides and food. We understand it's the little details that make for the perfect river vacation and we are committed to providing this to each trip no matter what the group size. Idaho whitewater rafting has a unique appeal with it's diversity of scenery, serenity, wilderness feel, wildlife and pristine river quality, we will try to bring all to life for you. We are not a large corporation based in some city miles from the river, my wife and I decided many years ago to raise our kids on the river in Riggins, Idaho. The small town in the mountains of North Central Idaho is an un-crowded and unspoiled community of a little more than 400, known as Idaho's whitewater capital the rafting and fishing keep the area alive with activity. Operating so close to the rivers helps us provide the personal touch you deserve. We look forward to creating a personal relationship with you and your family on your next outdoor vacation.
