"I am not a camper in any sense of the word… but to drift along in this fashion… passing sandy beaches and on either side, the sharply creased mountain sides, fragrant with vanilla-scented ponderosa pines, was completely tranquilizing....It was true that the food was delicious, the amount of work expected from us nonexistent, the accommodations almost luxurious, the scenery unbelievable...."
Tama Janowitz - Bon Appetit Magazine
"White water and red wines are the stars of two expeditions... from Idaho's Salmon River Outfitters. Spend days shooting the rapids and nights sampling West Coast vintages with dinner."

Wine Tasting on the Middlefork of the Salmon
-- with selected California and Pacific Northwest Wineries
Join Salmon River Outfitters for an unforgettable experience as we journey through one of the most scenic rivers in the lower 48. The Middle Fork of the Salmon, offers over 100 rapids ranging from class I –IV at intermediate water flows in approximately 100 miles.
Each day offers new scenery. At the launch site, the elevation is approximately 6000 ft above sea level, where the deep and narrow canyons are lined with Douglas Fir, Lodge Pole Pine, and Quaking Aspens. We traverse down river where the canyons open to wide desert country.
Exercise can be plentiful as we hike to Veil Falls and Loon Creek Hot Springs. We finish the trip by going through Impassable Canyon with steep vertical granite mountains and ending our voyage at Cache Bar where the elevation is at 3000 ft above sea level.
