Take your time enjoying the river corridor over the course of three leisurely days, or see it all in just two! The first 20 miles of the trip lend time to warm up to the river trip, with several Class II and II+ rapids. Take in the scenery and wildlife, learn to kayak, or enjoy short hikes for the first half of the trip. The second 20 miles is a fun stretch that features exciting Class III and IV rapids, the highest concentration of back-to-back whitewater.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day of rafting, you\u2019ll arrive at a big, white sand beach, where our guides will have camp already set up \u2013 yes, even your tents and sleeping pads will be set up for you. Appetizers will be prepped, while you relax with a book, practice your fishing skills, or dig your toes into the soft sand and warm river water. Meals on our overnight trips are gourmet, organic-infused, and hearty. Steak, Idaho mashed potatoes, and homemade bread are just a few choices on the menu, with always the option to make accommodations for dietary restrictions or picky eaters. Your river guides turn into expert chefs \u2013 who knew? \u2013 and they even do the dishes.<\/p>\n

Indulge in a warm dessert and relax in the twilight hours before drifting to sleep to the tranquil sounds of the Salmon River flowing. An energizing breakfast gets everyone rolling for the next day, and who doesn\u2019t like to wake up to sizzling bacon and a freshly brewed cup of coffee? Check out our itineraries for each trip, and give us a call \u2013 we are always happy to help walk you through the trip logistics to find the best fit for your vacation goals.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Itinerary” tab_id=”itinerary”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

What is the difference between the two and three-day trip?<\/h2>\n

Both our two and three-day trips are on the same section of the Salmon River and cover about 40 beautiful miles. For those on a tighter vacation schedule, choose the two-day option, which is a great getaway for just one night. If you have a little more time, three days allows you to really get into the river groove; the pacing is relaxed during the day, and there is more time at camp for two evenings.<\/p>\n

You will be in good hands from the morning of Day One to the late afternoon on the last day. Meals begin with lunch on the first day and end with lunch on the last day.<\/p>\n

We pick up our guests in McCall at about 7:30am (make sure you get a good night\u2019s sleep before!) and drop everybody back off in McCall at the end of the last day before dinnertime. We usually aim to get off the water between 3:00pm and 4:00pm on the last day.<\/p>\n

WHAT TO EXPECT<\/h2>\n

Salmon Raft has a variety of watercraft options to choose from. As you can probably imagine, there is a ton of gear that is required to pull off a fully catered multi-day trip. All of the kitchen equipment, your overnight bags, and most of the food will ride on our gear boat, while you (our guests) ride on a guest boat or inflatable kayak, your choice.
