The trip itself was great. Our guides Olivia and Jess knew what they were doing and kept us safe. The only part that was kind of a bummer was the down time from rapids and the intensity of the rapids. I totally understand that nature will take its own course and there is no magic switch to just increase or decrease the rapids, but it would have been nice to maybe hear more about the river or history during our trip while there was a lot of flat slow moments. I am clearly no expert on rafting, but I felt like we could have aimed for some of the bigger rapids at times and we kind of steered around them. Again, I really did have a great time and I would do it every day if I could, but I would definitely say that this trip is geared more towards a beginner thrill seeker rather than a total adrenaline junkie. I would love to come back on at a time when the same section of the river is firing on all cylinders just to get a better understanding of what the trip could have been. Everything other than that was great. Good food, nice people, and super attentive to helping.

Eric, Thanks for sharing about your experience and for joining us. I’m sorry the trip was perhaps not as exciting as you had intended. The Salmon River, being un-damned, has major changes as the flows come down throughout the summer with a mid-range (where we are now) where it is probably a little less punchy than both higher and lower. That said, many find this middle time to be their favorite. Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed the trip and I hope we get to see you on another.
