Salmon River "Canyons" Rafting trip  Class III+

"RIVER OF NO RETURN"

The Main Salmon River is the largest un-dammed river in the lower 48 states. The nature of a free flowing river gives the Salmon River an abundance of pristine white sand beaches, affording the highest quality camping of any river trip we know.  The Main Salmon River has cut its way through thousands of feet of geologic history over millions of years. You'll pass through steep granite and metamorphosed volcanic gorges which will open to roomier columnar basalt formations that will mystify anyone.

The diverse landscapes provide habitat to an equally diverse collection of animal and plant life, including deer, golden eagles, bighorn sheep, river otter, cougar, and bears all common on Salmon River rafting trip. We pass by crossings used by Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce Indians in their flight from the U.S. Calvary in 1877. We will also visit Chinese pit dwellings, abandoned homesteads, and old mining claims.  A river trip just wouldn't be complete without the campfire and retelling the adventures of the day while enjoy marshmallows  and smores.

When you reach the confluence with Snake River in Hells Canyon you have the option  of a jet boat ride 25 miles up thru the Hells Canyon National Recreation Area to Pittsburgh Landing for a short but breathtaking shuttle out of the heart of Hells Canyon. During your Idaho rafting trip we will challenge the largest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states, float the two deepest river gorges in North America, and traverse three states.
