Whitewater rafting and fishing on the Snake River

Where the Snake River heads north and forms the border between Idaho and Oregon, it forms Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America.

Nez Perce Indian legend claims “Coyote dug Hells Canyon with a big stick to protect their ancestors in Oregon’s Blue mountains from the ‘Seven Devils’ across the gorge in what is now Idaho.” Our raft trips through Hells Canyon are journeys through a land rich in myth and geologic wonder.

The country is amazing. Rugged rock walls and grassy slopes rise from the water, as you delve into the surging whitewater as it pulses through Hells Canyon. Where boulders and rockslides have rolled into the river, we find the biggest rapids in the Pacific

Wildlife fishing/hunting
Between the rapids, the Snake River follows a scenic path, where we will encounter black bear, Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep, mountain goats, deer, and other high desert creatures. The warm water (up to 70°) offers unparalleled fishing. Hauling in a ten-foot white sturgeon is the experience of a lifetime, while the rainbow trout and small mouth bass fishing peaks during July, August, and early September. We supply everything to help you land the big one. All you have to do is buy a license, either the night before the trip or here at the Fish and Game site www.state.ID.US/Fishgame. Starting in mid-September you can fish for Steelhead or bird hunt for Chukar partridge all day long.


Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner
Our guides do all the camp work and are experts at preparing bountiful and healthy meals. From their ice chests, they produce a seemingly unending supply of fresh meats, cheese, fruits, vegetables, and breads. Breakfast may be fresh fruit, with blueberry sourdough pancakes, or banana nut muffins served piping hot out of our Dutch ovens. Lunches are riverside deli cold cuts with all the fixings so you can create your own version of the DagwoodWe like to think of dinner as a show. Fresh Alaskan Salmon, BBQ tenderloin steaks. Cornish game hens with rosemary, and Dutch oven baked desserts and breads, all artfully prepared in our riverside kitchen. Special diets may be met. The best part is at the end: we do the dishes.

Drinks
We provide drinks at all times. While on the raft we have cold water, lemonade, sodas, and fruit juices. At camp there is a selection of tea, coffee, cocoa, and drink mixers. We do provide a limited amount of cold beer and dinner wine. You are welcome to bring your own alcoholic beverages. We always have plenty of room and ice to keep them cold.
