"We felt very well prepared with all the information you provided. Our guides provided excellent history and information regarding animals and the entire environment we were in. Their service was outstanding and I felt extremely pampered while "roughing it". Overall this trip had it all. It was peaceful and exciting. Had a perfect combination of being in the great outdoors, yet having gourmet meals and service."

Western River Expeditions did an outstanding job throughout the reservation process. The pre-travel information was superb. Everything in the information package was spot on!! Eric, John and Kip were outstanding guides. They know their business, and the river. This trip on the Snake River exceeded all my expectations. I have done a lot of outdoor adventuring in Canada, Europe and the USA. This trip topped them all.
Our 5 guides, Jonathon, Chris, Britt, Ernest and Shane were extraordinary. They were engaging, helpful, funny, real and most of all, professional. They made the trip enjoyable. They were extremely knowledgeable on all topics relating to the river, white water rafting, the history of the canyon, and the geology of the area. This trip was truly educational and fun.
The what to pack list was extensive and very helpful. I actually over packed, but was glad that I had everything I needed. Amazing guides - very knowledgeable of local history in the canyon, beyond helpful to each guest. They were personable and patient. They do everything to a 5+ star experience.
The crew gets the highest marks for professionalism and congeniality. Connie's many years of experience was on full display as she kept things pointed in the right direction and worked dawn till dusk keeping the customers happy and making it look easy - which it is surely not. Plus she is a walking library of fascinating local history. The rest of the crew - Bridget, Journey, Scott, Tyler, and Leonard - seemed highly competent and were always in good cheer. They really contributed a great deal towards enhancing an exciting and fun-filled adventure.
I think everyone on this Snake River trip will give it a 5 plus plus. It was really wonderful, the guides, the river, the food, the cameraderie which we developed. ROW really does it up right...they had champagne for us at the end! Our Guide, Connie Kennedy (guided more than 30 years) was terrific...stories, laughs, etc. We felt honored to be on a trip with her. The other guides were friendly and fun.
I just wished I had taken my wife with me. Am seriously considering a Salmon River trip next year. Thanks for helping me set this up!
