“What an amazing experience I had with my family and friends on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River! The guides were absolutely fabulous. I could not imagine a more perfect set of individuals to safely navigate us through the rapids and make this complete fun for everyone.
— Trevor W. MT Sobek CFO | Middle Fork of the Salmon 75-Mile River Rafting
We were blown away by how the guides customized the trip to ensure we all had a great time. They made it so special for the kids, from the shoulder races, the birthday cake, the slip and slide, the games of ninja, the hair braiding, the juggling–it never stopped!
All this happened with the backdrop of the Middle Fork’s spectacular scenery and heart-pumping rapids. This is a perfect jewel of a trip, one that we will all cherish for the rest of our lives.”
Day 1: Arriving in Salmon, Idaho
The adventure began in the charming town of Salmon, Idaho, where, after a trip orientation, the group enjoyed a sweet treat at Salmon Scoops, the local ice cream parlor.
Day 2: Flying into Indian Creek
The real excitement began as the group boarded a private flight into the heart of the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness.
Everyone arrives at the riverside camp for a yummy meal. And then it is time to board the boats and traverse Pongo rapids!

Day 3: Hot Springs and More Exploration
August brings lower rapids to the Middle Fork, making it the perfect time for playing, fishing, hiking, and swimming. The group made a pit stop at a beautiful hot spring. Then they went on their way downstream, keeping their eyes peeled for mountain goats and bighorn sheep!
Day 4: Pictographs and Play
The rafting guides shared the rich history of Idaho’s Middle Fork, including a fascinating tour of ancient pictographs and dwellings left by the Sheepeaters Tribe.
The day was filled with stops at scenic spots, including a horse ranch, and ended with s’mores around the campfire at the Whitey Cox campground.
Day 5-6: Rapids, hot springs, and the Impassable Canyon
The adventure continued with thrilling rapids, more hot springs, and a rafting journey through the stunning Impassable Canyon. The group enjoyed every moment on the river, from paddling through rapids to floating along in kayaks.
