In Idaho, unplug on a raft trip along the Salmon River

Share via

Disconnect from your everyday life on a raft trip on the Middle Fork of the Salmon River, one of the nation’s best-known whitewater rivers.

Boasting more than 100 rapids in 100 miles, the Middle Fork runs through the Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness area, known for its rugged mountains, deep canyons and wild, whitewater rivers.

Six-day Mountain Travel Sobek camping and rafting trips, designed for beginners and advanced participants, offer an adventurous ride down one of the world’s great rivers and a glimpse into the history of the area. Participants see geological strata, riverside hot springs, pit dwellings once inhabited by the Shoshone people and Gold Rush-era homesteads.
