Classic Whitewater Rafting Trip

Overview
The highlight of your vacation! This a 17-foot self-bailing raft that provides a fun splashy ride while providing enough stability to handle the Snakes Class bigger rapids with ease, and allowing you to feel safe while you enjoy the experience. You'll paddle through the legendary Snake River Rapids, including Lunch Counter, Big Kahuna, Champagne and Ropes. Rafts launch at West Table and take out at Sheep Gulch in the Snake River Canyon. It's 8 miles of Class II and III whitewater interspersed with calm stretches, even some opportunities to swim. Trips take 3 1/2 to 4 hours round-trip from our office at 180 Powderhorn Ln in Jackson. Whitewater rafting with Lewis & Clark is the genuine interactive outdoor adventure you came to Jackson Hole to experience. Most of our customers are first-timers and it's suitable for ages 6+. If you're looking for the max in adventure check out Lewis & Clark's small boat, smallest raft on the Snake. Private rafts are available, call to book.

Snake River Canyon
Please check in to our office at 180 Powderhorn Lane in Jackson 1/2 hour before your trip time. After checking in you will have access to restrooms and dressing rooms to prepare for your trip. Once your bus departs our office, it takes about 35 minutes to reach the "put-in" at West Table Creek Ramp on the Snake River. There are dressing rooms and pit toilets at the ramp. Our guides will be at the ramp to meet you and help you get into your gear, including life jackets and free, optional splash jackets. After your ramp orientation, you will launch and begin your 8-mile trip on the river. These 8 miles can take anywhere from just under an hour at high water to two hours very late in the season, depending on flows. Once at the take-out you walk up to your bus which will be parked near the restrooms and dressing rooms. There, you can retrieve dry clothing and change before riding back to Jackson. The bus ride home takes about 45 minutes.
Cancellation Policy

We did the Classic 8 Mile Whitewater trip with our 10 year old daughter and it was a great time. The group at Lewis and Clark are all friendly and helpful and seem to be having as much fun as their guests. Joe was our guide and he was fun and his enthusiasm was contagious. Our family was paired with 2 other families on the raft and the way it worked out, our daughter had the front paddling position along with another girl a couple years older from another family. Our daughter bonded with her as soon as they tackled the first rapid which nice and Joe kept them on task with setting the paddling rhythm. He also made sure to angle the raft just right so they each took their share of blocking the waves coming over the bow for the rest of us. Good thing we opted for the wetsuits that day because the water was chilly! Smiles all the way around on the raft. The only downside is that you get about 1.25 hours on the river and we could have gone for more but no complaints. Great time all the way around!

Awesome, Awesome experience! First and foremost, SAFETY. We had 10 in our party ranging in ages from 12 to 74. It was the first time that any of us had done a white water rafting trip, the forecast was cold, and the Snake River was very high at the time, so needless to say there were several of us that were extremely apprehensive. With an amazing guide, the wetsuits provided by Lewis and Clark, and the safety boat that is sent out ahead of the rafts, we always felt that we were in good hands. Our guide was Aaron. I highly recommend him! He knows the river like the back of his hand and is very knowledgeable and funny. The few times he didn't know the answer to a question, he made something up, and we didn't know the difference (until he announced a few moments later, "I totally made that up, by the way" LOL.) This was definitely the most memorable part of our trip.
