Rafting Idaho's Salmon River is Spirited Adventure
|
Western River Expeditions teams up with Action Whitewater Adventures to run both the Main Salmon and the Middle Fork. On the Main, there is always another stretch of whitewater running through the Idaho Primitive Area. Rich in scenic wonders and history, the Main Salmon is a favorite challenge with many rapids, including those with tough reputations like Big Mallard and Whiplash. The blue-green waters, known as the "River of No Return," also have some calmer sections where there is time to relax and absorb the country's splendor. As the river gushes on, it doubles its size into a rushing river with major rapids. The cold waters of the Salmon run through the heart of the largest roadless wilderness in the lower 48 states. It's a country of pines and granite mountains where rock paintings left by the ancient settlers still exist. On the Middle Fork, where homesteaders and miners once carved out their precarious existence, the river traces its route. It is an area of natural wonders and home to elk, mountain goats and big horn sheep. Beginning in the spectacular Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho, the first miles are small and clear-running through chutes and channels. Each day on the Middle Fork is filled with natural wonders, ranging from hot springs, relics left by early homesteaders and miners, and visits to view ancient pictographs left by early Indians. In early season, high water is suited for the hearty adventurer. By July, moderate technical whitewater is good for all experience levels. July is also the season for the up-river Salmon run, so fishing is good, to say the least, through to September.. You can choose your own level of involvement by riding on a comfortable 18 foot raft piloted by an experienced guide, or chart your own course in a paddle boat or inflatable kayak.
