My1FitLife Salmon Whitewater Rafting Adventure
Known as the “River of No Return” by early explorers, the Salmon is a big mountain river. It has big water with spring flows rivaling that of Colorado’s Grand Canyon and big, fun, roller-coaster style rapids; a big, incredibly beautiful, river corridor set in a massive wilderness with peaks rising over a mile above the river; huge sandy beaches shaded by towering pine and fir trees; big side creeks full of trout (creeks that would be called rivers in many parts of the world); a long history full of big personalities, characters, and stories; a ton of wildlife including Big Horn Sheep, Black Bear, and Bald Eagle; and most importantly it offers an authentic wilderness experience.
However, despite its size, history, remoteness, and ominous-sounding nickname, the Salmon River is incredibly friendly and comfortable. It features warm summer days lasting until nearly 10 in the evening, cool nights perfect for sleeping under the stars, water perfect for swimming, natural hot springs to soak in, perhaps the best beach camping anywhere, world-class trout fishing, a ton of hiking, and whitewater that is exciting yet safe. People have said that it feels wild, untouched, and rugged but at the same time comfortable, forgiving, and almost luxurious – a journey that combines a perfect beach vacation with the solitude, beauty, vast wilderness, and excitement of a mountain whitewater river expedition.
Main Salmon River rafting is a trip everybody should experience!
This trip begins at the Stagecoach Inn in Salmon, Idaho. This night you will meet the rest of our My1FitLife Adventure group and your river guide.
The next morning we all will be shuttled to Corn Creek where our river trip will begin. For the next 7 days and 6 nights you will enjoy the beautiful scenery, exciting rapids, and view a variety of wildlife. The last day of your trip you will enjoy a few great rapids and then arrive at the take-out. From here you will be shuttled by bus back to Boise.
This is an oar run trip, not a motorized adventure like the Grand Canyon.
We will have approximately six rafts for this adventure with six-eight people per raft.
